I have just downloaded/installed and getting used to OS X Lion.  Not impressed with new look of iCal at all and not great about Address Book.  I am using a Magic Mouse and when working appear to be unconsciously tapping the mouse and zooming in.  What I am I doing to get zoom and more importantly how do I get out of it?  With Mission Control and Launch Pad feel I have joined NASA and the space age in my study, but they do seem to be a good idea - time will tell.

Which software are you using while the system is zooming in? On Magic Mouse, you need to 'double tap' to zoom in on Safari, the same way as it does on the iPhone. But this may vary depending on the app you're using. Have you seen this zooming behaviour on another app?

if you hold ctrl and scroll up on the mouse, it will zoom the entire screen in.

This doesn't work on Magic Mouse / Lion combination though.

My unintentional zooming has been happening in Safari.  I realise after studying when it happens that it relates to the way I hold/use my Magic Mouse and unintentional movement of my middle fingers!  I have also found that you can turn it off in system prefs / mouse.  I'll just have to keep my mouse hand/fingers under better control.  Thanks for your replies.
