Description
OS X 10.12.6, QGIS 2.18.15 (-4 KyngChaos OS X distrib and earlier)
When clicking on the map with the zoom (magnifying glass) tools the slightest inadvertent movement of the mouse while pressed causes the scale factor to jump - e.g., from 1:1,000 to 1:1,000,000 (zoom out tool) or to 1:10 (zoom in tool).
Apparently the smallest movement is interpreted as a request to adjust scale. This is much too "sensitive" and frequently results in large scale jumps from very small hand trembles.
This could be avoided by requiring some minimum movement size (perhaps 10x10 pixels) before interpreting the movement as a request to rescale rather than just a normal zoom in or out command.
Also, while being able to select a portion of the map to be rescaled to fit the window using the zoom in tool, I don't understand the logic of the zoom out tool in which selecting a small part of the map causes it to zoom out to a much larger scale? Perhaps this feature should only be implemented for the zoom in tool?

This is fixed for 3.0 - a 2.18 fix is not possible as it relies on a fix introduced in qt 5.
