Numbers spreadsheet

While using a NUMBERS spreadsheet on my iMac (OS 13.2.1) set at 150% mag., or thereabouts quite often as I just move the mouse the entered data will decrease in size to let’s say 50%, which is quite annoying. I then have to re-select a suitable size and all is well until the next time.

I am quite certain that I do not inadvertently activate a key or touch the keyboard as I had thought might be the problem.

How can this be prevented or can I lock in the size of the spreadsheet to whatever I want to use?

Any help would be appreciated.

iMac 27″, macOS 13.2

Hi Haggis,

That sometimes happens to me. Take a look at System Preferences > Mouse > Scroll & Zoom for gestures that change the display.

(System Preferences may be called System Settings in your version of macOS)

Ian.

If you happen to be already on Ventura then you'll find System Settings is organized very differently from System Preferences in previous versions of macOS. The mouse settings now seem to be under Accessibility. The easiest way to find what you need is to type in the search box. If you're lucky it'll pop up in the list of results:

Hi - Thanks for your reply. I have had a look at this as you suggest but will have to wait and see how this will work out. This problem is a real pain,
