How do I disable Safari's Show All Tabs gesture?

Every time I go to zoom in on a PDF or poster online the tabs appear. I don't want to turn off pinch to zoom but this is annoying that I can't zoom in on a PDF. I used this in Mavericks and it works fine.

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.13

Does command - (minus sign -) allow you to zoom out? When the tabs appear, is it a page where it shows all the tabs? If so, have you tried Safari/View/Hide Tab View?


If that isn't what you mean by online the tabs appear. Could you describe what you are seeing?


Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply.
