I think that the user should be able to select between a 1:1 mouse resolution scale and one that matches the scaling of the loupe's zoom. This would be good to offer at least on any test version that is developed, until enough user feedback is obtained to eliminate one of the options. --- saulgoode@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > I would assume (and this is not shown in the > simulation) that when the > loupe is invoked, the resolution of the mouse > movement switches to > that of the zoomed view.
