This is the reverse of Windows convention. In other zoom-capable applications I know of, up means zoom in and down zoom out. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hold down control 2. Turn mouse the wheel up (away from yourself) Actual Results: The text size becomes smaller. Expected Results: Make the text larger.

Scroll up (away) makes it smaller , like in IE , the logic direction/behaviour. (strangely enough Opera does it the other way around) ->WFM ?

(In reply to comment #1) Darn. Forgot to check IE. There seems to be a convention otherwise, though. A program where wheel up = zoom out: * IE Some programs where wheel up = zoom in: * Opera 7.5 * Word 2000 * Excel 2000 * PowerPoint 2000 * Windows Picture and Fax Viewer * MSN Messenger 6.0

(In reply to comment #2) Some _more_ programs where wheel up = zoom in: * Photoshop * CorelDRAW What's the process for getting this bug re-opened (or at least discussed?). Currently it's at RESOLVED INVALID (i.e. you don't see it as a bug) but that's based on 1 application (IE) which works the same way compared to at least 8 others which work the opposite way. Since MS is even being inconsistent with itself, surely there's a strong case for going with the majority / de-facto standard?

I recommend to reopen this bug, since Microsoft has reversed the mouse wheel zoom direction in IE 7. Now Mozilla remains the only application zooming in the wrong direction.
