Fixing zoom
The way that we originally implemented Zoom In and Zoom Out was somewhat arbitrary and doesn’t resemble the way the new Notepad works: Instead of zooming the view, these menu items increase/decrease the size of the font displayed by TextBox1 by one point (and they only work within a somewhat arbitrary range of 1 to 72 points.) As bad, changing the zoom value (really the font size) doesn’t change the Zoom value in the status bar. And whatever the “zoom” value was set to persist with the app.
