I cannot reproduce with preview beta2. When clicking on +/-, I get steps 
of 15%. Given that the (system) default is 150%, I cannot get to 200% 
that way. Also, once one has used the slider, one cannot get "round 
numbers" anymore. I suggest to change it to how Word does it: the + and 
- buttons always get you to "round numbers" with steps of 10%. Then, for 
example, you can get fast to a certain point by using the slider and 
then adjust to a round number with +/-.
