Command box commands are inconsistent

The wiki page says you can type

  1. Set (Content Scaling | Text Size) to {80%|90%|100%|110%|120%|140%|160%|200%|240%} – affects text size in all panels
    e.g. Set Text Size to 120

However, when I find very inconsistent results. 

  1. Every time I type in Set Text Size to (insert number here), it runs a search instead.
  2. Sometimes I type in Set Content Scaling to Number, it works. But sometimes it runs a search on the phrase instead.
  3. I successfully typed in Set Content Scaling to 100, but then I opened my Notes, and they were definitely set to a large scaling. So I typed Set Content Scaling to 100, and my notes shrank. Shouldn't this apply to every resource/tool/document, not just the open ones?
  4. After that, I typed in Set Content Scaling to 200, and it only worked on the notes. So I closed my notes, typed it again, and it didn't do anything.

    From the drop down menu it appears that % is required. I find Set Content Scaling but not Set Text Size ... I wonder if the latter has been implemented yet in the new box or if it should be reported as a bug.

    Mac or Windows?

    It works in Windows without entering the % sign, and it affects Notes and Resources, etc.

    Hitting Enter will apply the command under Tools. Note that the % is applied automatically.

    I suggest you create a Bug report in the Logos Desktop Beta forum

    What I was trying to say was not that one has to key in the "%" but that it must be present, usually by selecting a command. I guess I was too succinct.
