Since upgrading to Lion, every so often whilst browsing in Safari, whenever I move my mouse, the page zooms in. The only way to get back out again seems to be to go back a page.

Any ideas as to how to stop this anyone?

BTW, I am using a wireless Magic Mouse.

I did do a search for this problem, but couldn't fins anything. However, just tried a different search term, and found there is already a thread on this problem under "Safari"

Try double tapping with one finger, (don't click, just tap lightly), to zoom in/out. Ensure smart zoom is enabled in Mouse Prefs, for this to work. I would assume it is enabled, as any stray double tap on the magic mouse zooms safari, I would think this is what is happening to you. To stop it completely, disable smart zoom in mouse prefs.

I have just had the same problem :D

Thanks for this help ;)
