            Bug ID: 485192
           Summary: Zoom effect should have upper bound
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: kwin
           Version: 6.0.3
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: effects-various
          Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: mailbox@appl.garden
  Target Milestone: ---

My cat sat on my keyboard for a while and I came back to see my laptop screen
being pure white. It remained that way even after a reboot.

I later realized that my cat must've held the Super+Plus key combo for a while,
and increased the zoom factor to absurd values, so I was just seeing a single
pixel. And, apparently, the zoom factor persists across sessions. My
`.config/kwinrc` contained these lines:
[Effect-zoom]
InitialZoom=19659025508.39898

Easy to fix by removing these lines and restarting, or by simply pressing
Super+0. But, this shouldn't have happened in the first place.

My proposal is to set a maximum value for the zoom factor, perhaps 10 is
reasonable.

Also I question the utility of persistently storing the zoom value.
