cannot retreat from a way to large of a zoomed full screen

[paxtonstafford]

infrequently, i accidentally tap the magic mouse -the screen zooms to very annoying and very large(to large for anyone)--with no apparent way to reduce it--i have not yet determined which screens it does it on. i suspect that is the key-but it cannot be just me--can it?-sorry for the sketchy information--this is ongoing for several months now- thank you

Hi,

does this happen in Safari ?

Maybe it's the "smart zoom" : double tap with one finger to zoom in, again to zoom out.

Zoom

I believe you can turn off advanced gestures in the system settings > Mouse section.

or you could use something other than a magic mouse.

Command-0 should restore normal view.

To disable Smart Zoom go into System Preferences > Mouse and uncheck the option for Smart zoom.
