There is “zoom level” setting in “apperance”. For me it always gets set to 91% on app start up and I can’t figure out why. I change it to 100% to make the UI normal size, but then I quit the app, open it again, and it’s back to 91%.

I suppose this setting should be saved into the “.obsidian/appearance.json” file. There is nothing related to zoom level there and nothing gets written into it when I change zoom level.

Clicking “restore to default” has the same effect as setting to 100% manually.

If it’s relevant, the “restore to default” button doesn’t disappear after the zoom level is set to 100%.

### Things I have tried

I’ve googled for “obsidian zoom level resets on restart” and similar queries.

I’ve tried disabling dropbox sync, but that didn’t help.

### What I’m trying to do

Make zoom level persist between app restarts.

Thank you 🙂

I face the same issue! Zoom level resets to the default when restarting Obsidian.
