Was screen zoom removed from OS X Lion?

In Snow Leopard you could hold control, and swipe two fingers up to zoom in on a part of the screen. Where did this go? Was it completely removed??

Macbook Pro Unibody (Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.6)

Yeah, where did my ctrl+two-finger-zoom go to??


I've activated the Settings->Universal Access->Seeing->Zoom: Options->Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom

I've tried changing the modifier key

I've looked for it in Touchpad settings, enabled/disabled pinch to zoom

Whole bunch of other stuff.


It just doesn't work anymore.


Had lots of other intermittent gesture trouble too.


Lion gestures is bugged as ****


And, why does a window (for example Lion) need focus in order for pinch to zoom to work, and scrolling doesn't?
