Description
Currently the zoom control has a few usability problems, especially on slow systems, or ones with uncertain mice.
Firstly, the zoom range is 4000Km-4m - which is a little uncontrollable.
Clamping the maximum zoom to either the maximum extents, or 50* the current zoom would be an option.
Also the minimum zoom to 2% of the current zoom level.
Also, perhaps double-clicking (with a tool-tip to inform the user) to revert to the previous zoom level.
Just thoughts.

| Summary: | Zoom levels. → [PATCH] Zoom levels. |
The attached patch makes the slider bar much more fine grained allowing for better zoom, especially on high zoom levels. Zooming by clicking on either side of the knob now doesn't always zoom to max extent (and kind of fixed #568… maybe we should draw +/- buttons to right/left of the slider to make it more obvious?) and once you focus (=click) the slider bar you can zoom in/out using right/left keyboard buttons.
It may or may not fix #1454 as well. The bug asks for a popup dialog to specify zoom level because the ruler is/was useless.

Make slider more fine grained and fix other bugs
Are you using the zoom mode (the one with the magnifying glass)? Did you know you can also zoom using the mouse wheel?
