Since the original message was about MacOS, I know as a Mac user that there are
a bunch of things that implicitly work in many places one might not expect them to.
For example, if a regular non-editable status or error message or dialog box
appears on the screen and there are no corresponding menu options, I can still
use my mouse to click-drag and highlight text in the displayed message and CMD-C
will copy it and I can paste it in another program. I did this just the other
day while documenting a program.
Similarly, perhaps certain zoom-related things are just built-in to certain
MacOS UI elements so if pgAdmin is implemented in terms of those then zooming
may work to an extent just because its built-in to the OS.
For that matter, in MacOS System Preferences, there are a number of universal
options available for assisting people with disabilities, including general UI
zooming things, and perhaps one of those was triggered somehow?
I'm just guessing here.
