Disabling Click + Spacebar Zoom

[BellyBuckle9]

Hi gang.

I would like to know if there is a way to disable this feature: when I click and drag my mouse while holding down the spacebar, in order to move my page on the screen, it does this weird zoom-out with a red box around my screen. It seems to be an accessibility thing, but I can't find any preference for this in my OS or InDesign and I don't know how to turn it off.

And the odd thing is that this doesn't happen all the time: maybe only twice during a workflow.

Thoughts?

When you click, immediately start dragging.

Hi Bob. Yes, that's what I do and that's when the zoom happens.

If you're on a Mac, and the GPU Performance preference is turned ON, uncheck Animated Zoom.

Steve, I believe the OP is referring “power zoom” which replaced the navigator panel way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

[BellyBuckle9]

Hey Bob. Perhaps. If so, I don't suppose I could disable this?

Thanks Steve. But here's the thing: I work on two computers: one where animated zoom is selected and one where the GPU isn't compatible so it doesn't give me that option.

The problem persists on both computers.

You will test your spacebar whether it works properly or not maybe it is some bug in your spacebar keyboard. Press it Many times to test it. Test your spacebar
