Zoom with scroll wheel jumps too much

In the last days I noticed a change in the feature of zooming with Ctrl+scroll wheel. It used to be much smoother. Now it jumps from 26% to 100% to 381% to 1449% 😐

This is a feature I use all the time to navigate my projects and this change prevents me from having adequate control over the view of my canvas. I need more intermediate steps in zooming, just like before this change.

This was due to fixing one problem, but led to another. You can find out more in this topic: Windows pinch zoom on figma is too fast (HDPI drivers)

New update version got error with Windows Figma app.

Normaly, when I press Ctrl+scroll mouse to zoom in or out it change about 20%-30% of scaling, happy with that. However, now it jump from 9% to 50% and upto 260% and upto 1414% for each time scrolling. It’s so huge change.
On my macbook and imac is normal.

Is there any setting for this problem or is it an error? Thanks.

Yes, I’m having this zooming issue in Chrome browser on Windows 10. Figma zooming worked perfectly fine until sometime in the last 1-2 months when something changed and it zooms way too far now, making it very tiring and awkward to navigate around.

Did they fix the “pinch to zoom” issue but cause an issue for those of us using a normal mouse?

Same issue here. Using a MacBook Pro M1 Max and the zoom speed is crazy. 😦 When I use the touchpad it is very smooth, but with a mouse (Logitech G Pro) it is choppy and fast.

After battling with this for several days I finally found a solution. I found an app called Mos (free and open source) which allows you to tweak macOS’s mouse scroll settings per application. Here are the settings that I am using which feel really nice!

It’s a shame that macOS has such crap support for 3rd party mouses. I also tried an app called Smooze Pro which helped with other apps but not Figma. Mos seems to work better in most cases so far.
