Currently trying out Linux Mint after previously using macOS and I found magnifier feature in accessibility lacking few features, compared to mac one (option + scroll to zoom). Most frustrating issue to me is that holding mouse wheel modifier and moving mouse wheel makes some windows (to me it was Chrome, but this happens even in native System Settings pages) scroll inside, which is not expected, because that's where I am actually trying to zoom in.
I tried to apply a small patch fix, but I am not fully familiar with a project, so feel free to make any changes. Tested on my machine against not patched upstream (of both muffin and cinnamon), and fix does indeed help. I do feel that grabbing scroll this way might be a bit hacky.
