Double tap the screen with three fingers to return to normal size.

If the screen is frozen and doesn't return to normal do a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears. Release both fingers. Wait until your iPad starts on it's own.

When you return to normal go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

I Am having the same problem about once a month. But the three-finger drag down not only doesn't reduce the screen, it makes it enlarge! I can only rectify the problem when I turn off the zoom function, which is really inconvenient. I need to zoom often, so I wind up turning zoom back on. Then a week or so later the zoom will engage automatically and I have to turn it off to make it stop.

is this going to be a prrmanent feature?

You need to double tap with three fingers not drag. Try doing this, go to settings> general> accessibility> accessibility shortcut> zoom> on. Then go to settings > general> accessibility> zoom and show controller> on. Now when you need to zoom simply triple tap the home button. An onscreen button will appear. Tap that buttom for the onscreen zoom menu. To turn zoom and the button off simply triple tap the home button.
