There are six reports related to this bug dating back to 11.04. Six years later nothing has been fixed. There is no patch or workaround as far as i know.

I've been in limbo due to insufficient zoom accessibility features in Unity, Gnome 3 and KDE. Being stuck with gnome classic and 12.04. Honestly feeling that Linux has turned it's back on me.

I finally ended up with KDE and filed a bug assessing the main issue i had with the zoom functionality here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357692. The bug was resolved in LESS THAN ONE WEEK. There is now a working patch for 5.5 and it will (as far as I know) be implemented in Plasma 5.6. The end result is far superior to any zoom I've ever used (on Linux, Mac and Windows).

So what's the point of this rant like comment? I want to:
- inform people like me that there is now a very good alternative to the Enhanced Zoom Desktop plugin.
- remind people of the importance of resolving this bug.
