Holding down Ctrl zooms the text out
-
I’m experiencing some very strange behavior. If I place the cursor in a text file, select one or more words and then hold down the Ctrl key ONLY, the text zooms in until it is very small. I’ve tried doing this several times and I almost always get the same result. Only every now and then it doesn’t happen. My version is Nootepad++ v8.6 (32-bit).

Are you sure it’s “only”? Because
Ctrl+ScrollWheelis the zoom feature, asCtrl+NumPadPlusCtrl+NumPadMinus(fixed: you said it went tiny, not huge, which is zooming out). And if you have a laptop with a trackpad, holding downCtrland then sliding on the trackpad might also trigger the zoom behavior (and some might be sensitive enough that you don’t even have to be fully on the trackpad, it might sense you hovering a couple millimeters above)Or have you hit
Ctrlenough times that Windows is turning on its Sticky Keys feature, because Sticky Keys can make things behave differently than you are expecting.
