I agree. Inkscape should respect global click+drag threshold here. I set it quite low, though. At just 4px, but no area zoom should be activated at distance smaller then that. At least at initial movement. After that, if user want it down at 2x2px area again , then it's not application's problem.

Now the question... Does this settings gets respected or ignored in this particular case? Will test when I get near my comp again...

Can we disable box-drag zoom while the "zoom out" function is active?

I'm used to shift-clicking to zoom out when I don't have a mousewheel, and if Inkscape detects even the slightest movement while the mouse is pressed, it draws a teeny tiny box and tries to zoom in to it.

If the user is zooming out this behaviour should be dissabled, because it's a zoom-in function.

Alternatively, or additionally:

When it zooms into such a small area, Inkscape takes an absolute age to re-draw gradients and my high-res graphics. It might be best to expand the minimum area that the box-zoom can zoom into. Say 10x10 screen px would be reasonable I think.

Thoughts?

Ah, there it goes. :) I can work again, yay! :D
