Description
Zoom to full extent should zoom to the full extent of all loaded layers (as most popular packages do), not only to those activated in the legend

The Layers available only in Mapcanvas are used to calculate Full Extent not all the layers present in the Maplayerregistry. Because the design intention of "Zoom Full" may be to show only the visible layers in the Mapcanvas not all the layers. Can anyone please suggest whether we can use "Zoom Full" to show all the visible and invisible layers to calculate the Full extent like other GIS packages?.

IMHO yes, also according to the principle of least surprise.

Thank you for your opinion.

Then I have created a patch for that design. Can you kindly have a look on it and reply me in case of any comments ?

Using layers from QgsMapLayerRegistry for zoom full functionality may not always work correctly. Not all layers in the registry have to be necessarily connected with the map renderer. There could be other (unrelated) map canvases with their map renderers with different set of layers...

Thanks for your suggestions ! Can we use the layers directly from the QgsMapCanvas(layers got from the QgsLegend) instead of QgsMapLayerRegistry for calculating full extent. I have attached a sample patch file regarding this, Can you please verify whether this logic is fine ? Waiting for your comments ...

Hello, bug triage...
in QGIS 2.13 master, when you use "Zoom Full", it still zoom on the activated layers so I think that the path has not been applied.
What do we do with this bug ? With at least 4 years of habit, perhaps users wants to keep the "Zoom Full" like it is now (I'd like it too) ?

How about two separate options:

Hello,
why not, even if there can be a UI problem: there is already 8 buttons for zoom operations. One more button will make the toolbar more encumbered.
Perhaps a new setting in the Settings -> Map Tools tab -> Panning and zooming groupbox which could be named like "Zoom Full behaviour" with a QListWidget with two options "Zoom only on visible layers" and "Zoom on all layers" ?

I would say this is not a bug because changing the behaviour would make some other users unhappy. It can be a feature request, though. Personally I like the current way better. I wonder which programs belong to the list of "most popular packages".
