Thank you for reporting this @r3inbowari. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this on MacOS. Later I will give it a try on a Windows machine. In the meantime, it would be very helpful if you could describe what happens when you perform the following actions with the Preferences open:

• click on the arrows in the Interface scale input field; every time you click, the value should increase or decrease by 20%.
• with the Automatic flag checked, press CTRL + "+"; you should see all the IDE interface being zoomed in and the Interface scale input field should increase its value by 20%
• with the Automatic flag unchecked, press CTRL + "+"; you should see the font size in the code section increasing in size and the Editor font size input field should increase its value by 2

Do they work as expected?

Yes, They work fine.

Reproduce: For example, the current fontsize is 72 and we can not adjust to 16 only by keyboard.
This problem also exists on linux.

Oh sorry, initially I misinterpreted the issue. That is surely annoying! I've just opened a PR (#1547) with a possible fix to this issue 😉
If you want to give it a try, take a look at this GitHub workflow: when it's finished, you'll be able to download a test build.

Thank you so much for reporting this issue 🤗
