Details

The keyboard shortcut for increasing the text size is labeled as ctrl++. This is actually not how it is implemented. To make the text size larger you must actually us ctrl+=. The distinction seems academic because the two are on the same key most of the time with the shift as the difference between the two. However, most keyboards have a stand alone plus on the number keypad. I was confused as to why ctrl+- decreased the text size but ctrl++ did not put it back. (I was using the + and - on the number keypad.) The plus on the number keypad should work, or the shortcut sholud be relabeled to use the equals sign. (Preferably the former.)
The + on the numeric keypad works fine in the Linux 2001063006 build. Can you give me some information on which build you're using, what platform, what OS, and where?
I have this problem in 0.9.2 on Windows 98. Looks like it's a Windows only problem. Changing Component to Keyboard Navigation.

Not so sure this is an editor thing. Sounds more like some mapping is missing in the Windows key handling code.
