Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
The accessibility zoom feature (ctrl-scoll when enabled) that always worked so well and fluidily in previous versions of OSX is now broken in Yosemite.
It works fine on my macbook pro retina's main display when there are no monitor connected, but on my usual dual external monitor setup the frame rate is so slow it makes is useless.
Does anyone have the same issue?
Yes! It's done a number on my workflow.
Some more info:
When you zoom, the WindowManager process CPU usage shoots up. This soars when you attempt to do it with a secondary monitor. Mavericks was amazingly smooth.
Would like to see this resolved ASAP!
I've had to go back to Mavericks.
Thank goodness for timemachine backups.
I'll evaluate Yosemite again in a month or so....
I have 5 monitors attached. Mavericks was great, In Yosemite zoom is totally unusable. I use it a lot so I will go back to Mavericks until Apple fixes it.
I just found a great workaround for the zoom and it works better than before.
The zoom defaults to fullscreen zoom and when you have multiple monitors it zooms all of them. Normally I don't need to zoom all just the one monitor that I'm working on.
Go to "system preferences " ,"accessibility ", set zoom style to "picture in picture" and then click "more options" and then click "adjust size and location" then you can set the zoom window to the size of a monitor. then when you zoom only the monitor you are on gets zoomed and is fast.
Works for me. Hopefully helps others as well.
Good workaround
accessibility zoom unusable on multi-monitor setup
