I have the same problem as well when the aspect ratio of the drawing window is
not close to that of the schematic page size.  If wxWidgets 2.9 takes care of
the non-integer zoom sizes and the problem doesn't exist on Linux or OSX, why
not revert to the old behavior of best zoom and put 0.7 back into the zoom list
if we are going to make wxWidget 2.9 a build requirement on windows?
