Hitting control-minus (-) makes all the fonts smaller. Hitting it about 12 times
in a row, and text will suddenly start reappearing as normal size.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hit ctrl- - (minus) about 10-15 times
Actual Results:  
Text first went smaller and smaller, then reappeared as normal-sized text

Expected Results:  
Keep making the font size smaller.
Do you have a minimum font size in Edit/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts?
Severity: minor → trivial
No.
And if you do some ctrl-+ (plus) again, the text will appear small again,
getting bigger with each hit of ctrl-+

I guess this behaviour is on purpose, because text that is so small cannot be
read by anyone. But this is just a guess.
Resolving INVALID. Once text sizes get that small, why not expand them? In the
immortal words of the Microsoft KB, "This behavior is by design."

Not so fast. All I'm saying is that the current behaviour makes no sense. And I
don't give a toss what the Microsoft Knowledgebase says.

Apart from my view that this feature _does_ make sense, this should be a RFE,
shouldn't it?

Once the zoom level is 1%, it doesn't change anymore.
You press ctrl-minus, the text size goes smaller. You press it again and again,
and it keeps getting smaller still. Then, suddenly, out of the blue, with one
more pressing of ctrl-minus, it suddenly pops back to normal. Where's the logic
in that?
