Zoom bug? Does it happen to anybody?

[MVMusic]

Does this happen to anybody?
If I zoom to 100% I can only see about 9 inches above the page
If I zoom to 125% I can only see about 7 inches above the page
at 160% zoom, I see about 5.5" inches above the page and so on, if I zoom to 25000% I can only see about .25" above the page
Zooming on the bottom is also a little strange, but I usually have objects above the page

I'm using PGD 7, but I noticed it happen in at least 2 previous versions
Is this normal behavior?

win 7 64 now with 4GB and before with vista and win 7 32 with 4GB

Sorry, but I don't follow your measurement system. My monitor is only about 10" high. Zooming to 100% doesn't even give me a full page, never mind anything above it. If you zoom to 100% then a 8½" x 11" page should measure about (give or take) 8½" x 11" on your monitor. How big is your monitor? How big is your page? 100% should be full size.

Please can you clarify what you are asking?

My monitor is 22" and when I zoom in, the deeper the zoom, the less I can see above the page
at 100% I can see all 24 lines and select them
at 200% I can see 15 lines and select only those I can see
at 500% I can see 5 lines and only select those
In all cases I can't scroll the page up so I can select more objects and I need to zoom out so I can see them and select them
I hope I was able to explain it properly here's a screen shot showing what I see
My monitor is about 12" high, and I'm using the standard template so I don't know if that has anything to do with it

try increasing the outer margin size, on the page size tab of the program options - this has an effect on the zoom area

[MVMusic]

I already have it at 48" since I work with big graphics and that's about the maximum

even better right click on the page and untick 'multiple page view'

even better right click on the page and untick 'multiple page view'

I don't know what that means, but that action actually fix it

Thank you H

if you are in multiple page view then the page area is automatically positioned towards the top of the available area - I guess this makes it easier for the program when you have more than one page

when you untick multiple page view the page is re-positioned in the middle and so the top is no longer constrained

edit - but don't forget to retick if you want to add pages or you won't see them [unless the program reverts back automatically, which it might, can't remember]

[MVMusic]

That makes sense
It's good you mention the pages bit or I would never know, even though I almost never add pages

The outer margin plus the pages size has the what, 98 inch limit? Something small like that.
