While I'm waiting for Inkscape to redraw the screen....
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 - C
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...

Tested. Zoom has no threshold set for click-dragging a box, and will happily zoom to 1px. I'd use a different value than the global click-drag though. 10px is far too high of a click-drag threshold for my liking.
Also, this value should probably be in the settings, and the default value should be based on the screen dpi (if provided by the system).
I can't think of a reason to have box-zoom on zoom-out though. It's counter-intuitive to suddenly zoom in when trying to zoom out.

Hi,
I agree. Inkscape should respect global click+drag threshold here.
It does(I tested it, and modified it, and it behaved as expected)
I can't think of a reason to have box-zoom on zoom-out though. It's counter-intuitive to suddenly zoom in when trying to zoom out.
That seems very reasonable, so I just fixed it in trunk (r14692).

Awesome! Thanks. :)
