Describe the Bug
PDF files can not be zoomed in/out in cursor. It is always filled the width of the box. If I set the view mode as horizontal scroll, the zoom works but not fully. Somehow it can zoom out the pdf but can not zoom in as much as I want. Besides, the render works very slow - much slower than in VS Code, at least not the expected response speed for latest macbook pro.
I just move from VS Code to Cursor, this problem is not seen in my VS Code. Thus, I suppose it is not a problem of my computer or system. Please check my screen shot. On the left is the cursor and the right is VS Code. When click +/- on the toolbar, the pdf does have some reation. It scrolled a little bit but just not zoom in. I feels like this bug reation is commonly seen in some viewers but not very sure the reason and how to fix.
I’m a little confused bucause the pdf render used in cursor should be the same as VS Code. It is just a small plug-in and shouldn’t strongly depend on the software. I did try some extensions but none of them help (as I expected).
Steps to Reproduce
I test for different pdf files, it can be stably reproduced. Just drag any pdf files to cursor and try to zoom with the toolbar or trackpad.
Expected Behavior
Obviously, when I click “+” on the toolbar, I hope my pdf file become larger, and vice versa.
