Oh great. You can switch it off in the control-center, but that's not
enough? You have to be unable to switch it on when you want it? This does
not make sense. People arguing this behaviour is bad has not even had the
decency of checking if it could be turned off. I like icon zooming and
normally use size normal. I would like to see this possibility restored.
