Zooming in the PDF viewer does not stick. The page scales for a moment  
and then snaps straight back to the previous size, so there is no way to  
settle on a zoom level.

macOS 26.5.2, Chrome. Happens on every PDF I have opened.

Happy to help track it down: I can send a screen recording, test a fix,  
or give you details from any specific file that reproduces it.

Could you take a look?
