Finder: Zoom slider is not working

Hi Friends.


If I open a new finder window, the zoom slider is working in the symbol view. But if I change to the column view (Apple-3) and back to symbol view, I can slide the zoom slider how I want, the zoom is not working.


Unfortunately it happens not always, but most of the times.


Any ideas?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I can replicate the same problem; hadn't noticed that before, since I almost never use Column view.


I did find that if I go from Column view to List view and then to Icon view, or even switch from a misbehaving Icon view to List view and back again, the problem has gone away.


By the way, that's not a zoom slider - if you look carefully while you slide it, the text of the filenames does not change size, which it would do if it were truly a zoom function. It is, instead, an icon size control function.


I will file a report on this.
