Sometimes the location zoomed into does not coincide with the cursor location, when using the mouse wheel. I tried fixes in the previous editor versions 1.8-1.10, but it still doesn't work.
PS: This post is basically just a reminder for me to fix this. ;)
Do people actually want this change? Happy to try fixing it if so.
Is there some way to make this optional? I probably won't be able to decide until I see it in action.
On paper, zooming in on the cursor location sounds more intuitive to me, but I may have already gotten more used to the current behaviour than I'm aware of. ;)
I am with strato here. I am used to the current behavior, but I can see potential in the other way. Maybe an option is the way to go and when we see that one way is superior we can take the other out later.
The alternate behavior (center on mouse cursor) sounds like an improvement to me. While I'm used to the current behavior, I believe the adjustment period would likely be very brief - especially as this is already how many other programs handle this.
I would zoom into the cursor. This is standard behavior in many applications.
Zooming into the center of the screen, I wouldn't keep this; if people complain in the new version, you can still re-add it as an option. >_> (http://www.lixgame.com/etc/kill-feature-every-week.jpg)

+1 for zoom to cursor. EDIT: It seems to do this anyway if no piece is selected... ???
