No, it was not.
To elaborate my point, I would like to point to two famous applications for
desktop magnification. the Gnome's and Cinnamon's. Those two examples by name
has two types of zooming:
1- Full screen zooming: the same one applied in KDE Plasma -that you mean by
"got covered", and xFce, and Compiz and probably others that I forget about or
did not know of.
2- Projected zooming: I don't know if that was the precise term for it, because
I made that up. 
The projected zooming is found only in Gnome, Cinnamon, Kmag and Xmag. Where
zoomed image is displayed on a side window (Kmag, Xmag and Windows Magnifier)
or a part of screen, make that top half, bottom half, right half or left half.
as seen in Gnome and Cinnamon. not counting W.Magnifier as this feature still
very crappy after all those years.

Conclusion: KDE Plasma gives full screen zooming. KMagnifier gives projected
zooming. Meaning that you are able to see zoomed image and zoomed object in
real size, so you can easily find your location in full view beside your zoomed
view.
you can try it yourself in Cinnamon by writing anything in full screen zooming
(here you will realize the importance of zooming-follow-typing feature) than
make that right half where you can see the whole page you write in left half
and the exact line you edit in right half (if you have 2 monitors this can be
your whole right monitor!).

I hope I did put the matter the right, sufficient way. Greetings
