Thanks for the report @cazssiew 👍 Much appreciated. We'll make sure this gets addressed/fixed in the next release which is typically when we have a minor chromium bump.

Just @cazssiew, was this reproducible with 1.2.x or was this a recent regression?

[cazssiew]

Awesome, thanks! Unfortunately I only started using the macos zoom very recently so I'm not sure. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Reproducible on 1.2.43 using a fresh profile.
