They certainly do work, now that I know about them. I missed the menu items View > Zoom In and View > Zoom Out in the obvious place in the menu because, as a newbie, I had just discovered the zoom slider and had not really thought to look for the menu items.
Perhaps I would change the bug title to "The timeline zoom slider is hard to control with the mouse", and make the request for two things specifically: * A (+) and (-) button at the appropriate ends of the slider, to make controlling zoom with the mouse easier. * A way to go one or a few default zoom level, such as * fully zoomed in (slide the slider to the left, or select a menu item, or use a keyboard shortcut) * fully zoomed out (slide the slider to the right, or select a menu item, or use a keyboard shortcut) * default zoom level, with numbered ticks = 1s zoom level or so To implement a default zoom level, a 'detent' on the zoom slider might be nice, much the same as the full volume level on the volume control under Lucid.
