Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the image editor on macOS with small 512x512 JPG and PNG files, then trace the editor's zoom and image-boundary handling. Done means zooming keeps the full image visible while its borders expand, matching the expected behavior described in the issue.

Description

bug workspace
Description

When zooming in on an image (reproduced with jpg and png files), the image zooms in, but the borders of the image dont move out, causing the outside of the image to be cut off. Behaviour is normal for images of larger sizes (for example dimensions 1024x1024) but breaks for smaller images (largest I tested was dimensions 512x512)

(see screenshots below)

To Reproduce
  1. Open a folder with an image in the workspace
  2. Open an image in the editor section
  3. Attempt to zoom in on the image
Expected Behavior

The borders of the image should expand so that the whole image remains in the editor tab.
