Can't view PDF to preferred magnification when zooming in in full-screen mode

Hey everyone! This didn't used to be a problem but became one in the last few days, so I'm a bit concerned. I have view access to a shared Dropbox for my company, but I am not authorised to download any files or make any changes. This is fine since I only need to view the PDFs uploaded to it, which I do so on the web, and I used to be able to zoom in to 200% in full screen mode. Now it seems stuck at 175% unless I used the + and - buttons to change the size, but it seems to default to 220% if I click the + button one time. I really loved using 200% to be able to view everything I needed, so if anyone has any suggestions I would much appreciate it. Zooming to 200% isn't a problem when not in full-screen, but it absolutely prohibits it if I choose full-screen. It has an arrow indicating that there should be more magnification options, and in the past I was able to put it to 200%, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong now or what changed.

    Hi elizarosi, thanks for messaging today!

     

    Could you try switching browsers to see if this helps?

     

    Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.

     

    Let me know how it goes!
