Summary0013124: Zooming in or out in ASCII scales the UI to giant or tiny sizes
DescriptionWhenever I open a fort in ASCII graphics mode, or switch the mode while playing, the zoom function also scales the UI, rendering it quickly unplayable. I am a mac user and load DF v50+ though NVIDIA GeForce NOW.
Steps To ReproduceLoad a fort in ASCII, scroll to zoom.

Not a bug. Zooming in ASCII mode changes the size of the tiles and ASCII mode uses the same tiles for game and UI. I don't necessarily think it's good behavior, but it's not a bug.

Is the separation of zoom and ui scale in <50 just a DFHack feature then? Or was it changed? And there are no settings to toggle this behavior? There's a setting in the graphics settings that is named as if it might address this (Scale interface to fit grid height/width) but while it sometimes scales the ui in the instant when toggled Yes/No, neither toggle appears to chage the scaling behavior or set it to a fixed size.

Ah, just ran 47 without dfhack, I mistook a dfhack feature for base game, my apologies. May look into using an emulator instead of GeForce to be able to use dfhack
