Summary0010292: Setting to hide zoom toolbar from showing in bottom right corner
DescriptionI recently tried one of the latest nightly build demos and noticed something different. The zoom buttons that used to be on the right side of the Editor toolbar, has now been moved to the bottom right, on top of the "Summary scroll bar.
To me this seems out of place and actually distracting because it ends up appearing right above my Linux Panels taskbar area, which is where little popups appear, so I keep thinking something is down their out of the corner of my eye.

I agree that removing the zoom buttons from the Editors toolbar does clean it up, which in this case I am fine with.
For me I do not use these buttons personally anyways.

However, because I do not use them, I am suggesting to please offer a new setting in `Preferences` that would allow user to turn off that little toolbar that appears on top of the scroll bar at the bottom right of screen.

Hopefully developers agree / will be willing to add such a setting.

Thank You

I guess a lot of such is also personal preferences.
That said: To me it seems a bit strange to have zoom-in/out/to-session at the bottom-right now, but still leave "zoom focus" at the top.
They kinda belong to each other, even if loosely, don't they?

Once at it anyway, i could imagine moving "visible/shrink/expand" tracks on top of the existing tracks, so instead of top-right to top-left might make some sense.

But, as said, such questions, i see there are a lot of very different preferences. Also i got no idea if doing such is work-intensive.
I for one am fine, but i sure see your point.
