Steps to reproduce:

Scroll quickly on a long page. Stop scrolling and press ctrl while the scroll inertia is still carried on.

Actual results:

Then the font size/zoom setting on the tab will change as if ctrl+scroll were done even though the user never used ctrl and scrolled at the same time.

Expected results:

No font size/zoom levels should change, unless ctrl and scroll are done at the same time (and arguably only if ctrl is held down before scrolling starts).

Also note that if ctrl is held down to press ctrl+w, then the newly-focused tab also has its font size/zoom levels changed.

Sorry for posting this from Chrome, the bug report is for Firefox of course, so disregard the user agent.

Hi tgbrooks,

I'm testing this on https://www.reddit.com/ but as soon as I stop scrolling with mouse wheel, it will stop scrolling as well, so I am not able to replicate on my end. I'm using windows 10 pro, firefox nightly 81.0a1 (2020-08-09) (64-bit).

Can you send you about:support information? Also try this on the latest version of nightly. You can download it from here: https://nightly.mozilla.org/

"Also note that if ctrl is held down to press ctrl+w, then the newly-focused tab also has its font size/zoom levels changed."---> for me it closes the tab when pressing ctrl and w keys.

I will move this over to "Panning and zooming" (could be keyboard navigation as well) so developers can take a look over it. If is not the correct component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.

Thanks for the report.

Best regards, Clara.

This is a long-standing bug that has been filed many times (the see-also list of bug 1199737 has a bug in just about every possibly-related component). I'll leave this one as the APZ-component bug so that we try harder to fix it.

Hi Clara,

Hi Clara,

I added the about:support above, just in-case it's still useful.

Best,
Tom

I have this exact issue as well
It seems like this bug has been reported many times in the past as well, with the only suggested "solution" being to disable inertial scrolling.
