Description: In the Zoom & View Layout dialog, there's an option called "Variable:", which allows the user to input a custom zoom factor. Similar options elsewhere in LO are usually called "Custom:", so using that would be preferable for the sake of consistency and avoiding potential confusion. Steps to Reproduce: 1. e.g. in Writer: View -> Zoom -> Zoom... Actual Results: The word "variable" is used. Expected Results: The word "custom" is used, in line with the rest of LO. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: n/a
+1 I've always found "Variable" to be a weird choice for this. "Custom" sounds better.
