Yes i just saw the shift works in the same one use way, which is quite silly. I
was going to suggest a shift type option with the one button zoom mode type
button. I normally use zoom and pan quite a bit in gimp and photoshop. :)

I think most people would be confused/unaware with the single/double clicking
of a zoom mode button. As it is a mode, the mode should be functional until the
mode is turned off.

Any ideas why it was removed and in which commit? Yep i'm running 2014-09-02,
as i wait for a new build on @45-TDF. The only functionality that i see missing
from the statusbar and scrollbars is the zoom in mode, but its not that
difficult to zoom into a particular area with the a combination of shift +
scrollwheel (pan left/right), scrollwheel (pan up/down) and ctrl + scrollwheel
(zoom in/out).

> Why close? If it could be improved, it should be done.

Well i wasnt that keen on improving it thinking that it was being removed in
4.4. :)

Unfortunately i cant find that tooltip. :(

Well from this discussion, i would have likely change this bug to 'replacing
zoom group button with zoom/pan mode button', which wouldnt be a duplicate. :)
