Public bug reported:

There's a lot to like in OpenShot, but a big issue I experience is with
zooming.  I have a video project that's about 17 minutes long.  Let's
say the playback head is at, say, 10:00 while the zoom slider is set to
"7 seconds" resolution.  Then I want to zoom in tighter.  Using the zoom
bar, it does indeed zoom in tighter... but to a spot 5 minutes earlier
in the timeline.  It never centers its zooming in/out on the playback
head, or on any other reference point I can figure out.  I then have to
manually scroll back through the timeline to get back to where I was
working.

To me, it would be ideal if the timeline would zoom in and out centered
on the playback cursor, because that's where I'm working.
