MacOS: Trackpad zoom broken [Fix Pending Release]

[Crazyblox]

**This bug has been fixed and is live in Studio! Thanks tnavarts for the solid comms.

@tnavarts

This should be fixed, Mac Studio now supports Pinch to Zoom.

Original Post:

Beforehand I was able to zoom in/out using the 2 finger scroll gesture on my trackpad. A recent update either yesterday or today has broken this.

On the RobloxPlayer client I am able to zoom in/out using the pinch to zoom gesture. I would assume that Roblox is currently trying to unify these behaviours for Studio, but even pinch to zoom does not work on Studio when doing Play Solo.

The only way I would be able to get around this is plugging in a mouse.

I have a trackpad, and I must gesture.

[tnavarts]

Yes, expected behavior.

The behavior while playtesting in Mac Studio has been updated to exactly match the behavior in Mac Client. However Studio doesn’t support the pinch-to-zoom gesture yet, so until we do you’ll have to use the I/O keys to zoom during playtesting with a trackpad.

Okeydokes; good to know. I imagine it’s currently in the pipeline so shouldn’t be too long for this to resolve itself.

Will close this thread when I am on Studio and notice the trackpad zoom is functional again.

Just to update, we have a fix ready, Mac Studio should support pinch-to-zoom in next week’s release.

Thanks for keeping us updated, looking forward to it!

i’m not understanding.

The behavior while playtesting in Mac Studio has been updated to exactly match the behavior in Mac Client.

Mac Client pinch to zoom works just fine for years, as has Studio - whether in build mode, regular test, “team test”, or “local test”. Buld-mode pinch also broke but two-finger scroll still zooms in and out.

However Studio doesn’t support the pinch-to-zoom gesture yet

by “supported” do you mean “functionality is not guaranteed”? it’s supported pinch-to-zoom for years until just recently. would make more sense if you just said you broke something that worked but was unsupported, and official support is pending. can you clarify?

While we’re at it, is there any plans on pinch gesture simulation for mobile emulation?

Allow to simulate pinch gesture in mobile device emulation

As a Roblox developer, it is currently impossible to simulate the pinch gesture in mobile device emulation: [image] https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/UserInputService/TouchPinch Currently, the input above is only possible to test in a real mobile device. If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because this will lessen the work to test, in addition to allowing you to debug the code inside Studio.

Yeah, should have elaborated.

Pinch-zoom for devices which have a dedicated pinch-zoom gesture. Some devices just treat pinch-zoom as a normal mouse wheel input rather than a unique gesture.

This should be fixed, Mac Studio now supports Pinch to Zoom.

Just hopped on today; it is now fixed! Thanks for the solid comms on this.

working again, thanks for the update!
