How to disable Mac Magic Mouse from zooming on figures

This is very frustrating and I don't know how to disable it. The magic mouse finger scrolling zooms in and out on figures. I don't want this, I only want to zoom in and out by clicking the +/- zoom buttons on the figure and click-dragging. The very frustrating issue is that any kind of clicking or touching the top of the magic mouse near a figure can activate this zoom.

I've tried disabling the Enable Zooming with CMD+Scroll option in Preferences but this hasn't helped and there doesn't seem to be any way to disable this magic mouse scroll zooming on figures.

Yep. Seen that happen more than I want. I have a trackball and a muggle mouse that I use when I get frustrated. (Is that what you would call a non-magic mouse?)

Hi,

You can can fix this by disabling the magic mouse zooming completely. This link provides 3 solutions which can be useful to the issue you are facing.

Also, there a temp. workaround to this:

"CMD+'+' and CMD+'-' will modify the zoom level and allow you to restore the live editor to the appropriate (default) text size".

Thanks for trying to help.

Solution 1: Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing.

There is no System Preferences shown above. There is Accessibility>Zoom, but no "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" option. BTW, Typing "Seeing" in the Preferences seach brings up the same Accessibility>Zoom window.

Solution 2: I have already tried but doesn't help.

Solution 3: use a different mouse, yeah, duh.
