The zoom level on the user interface resets to “fit to display” every time the lowest layer (i.e. the background) is selected from the sidebar.
This gets annoying rather fast; so, in my opinion it’d be best not to touch the zoom level when a layer (no matter which one) is selected from the sidebar – my intuition is that I (i.e. the user) is the one who has set the zoom level to something, so it shouldn’t be fiddled with without the user explicitly making the choice to do so.
