[SOLVED] xfce4-terminal zoom issue.

UPDATE: I went to the Debian "snapshot" site at http://snapshot.debian.org/package/xfce4-terminal/ and installed prior versions -- all of them worked _except_ 1.1.4, so I guess this is a recent regression?

Hey, all.  One of the main reasons I wound up with xfce4-terminal -- even when running MATE or whatever -- is because I love the zoom: <ctl><shift>+ and I zoom both the window size, itself, and proportionally, the font.  Or... did, for years.  But recently -- both times on ARM (one Debian on a Mac via Fusion, the other on my ARM Thinkpad running Ubuntu) -- it only zooms the font, which is the same behavior as gnome-terminal and mate-terminal, and I loathe that.

Am I doing something stupid?  I've tried both with keyboard shortcut and with View -> Zoom In.

Thanks, and apologies...

P.S.  Current problem child is my Debian MATE install, with xfce4-terminal v. 1.1.4, Debian 13.

Re: [SOLVED] xfce4-terminal zoom issue.

Hello and welcome.

This functionality was changed in 1.1.4 (https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-term … 2c9bb6b4e4). But reverted to the old behaviour in 1.1.5 (https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-term … 792a0cff2a) as the change was controversial.
