I discovered something, but am not sure if this is intended behavior: Once I double-click on the progress bar to change a word goal for this document, the whole Scrivener window zooms in or out like if I hit "Window > Zoom"

I couldn't find any reference to this. For me it was surprising at first sight as I didn't expect this little bar to zoom my whole window.

   I can replicate this -- double click on the progress bar toggles Windows > Zoom.

   This is sort of both, and I don't think there's anything I can do about it. macOS has a bit of an odd "feature" whereby if you double-click on certain background areas when a sheet (a panel attached to the top of the window) is present, it invokes Zoom. You can see the same thing when, say, you compose a message in TextEdit, go to Edit > Add Link to bring up the link sheet, and the double-click on "To" or "From" or "Signature" in the background.

   You don't need to double-click on the progress bar to bring up the settings, by the way - you only need to click once. And that's the problem - when you click the second time, the sheet has appeared and macOS's default behaviour kicks in.

   Actually, I've found a workaround (I have to place an invisible button over the progress bar to get around it).

   All the best,
   Keith

   Hah, yes, so it does.

   And if you go to System Preferences > Dock and change Double-click a window's title to 'Minimise' and double click on the target, it minimises the Scrivener window instead (of course...).

   Using Mac for more than ten years and never noticed that...

   If you untick the feature completely, then it doesn't happen at all, of course, which is what I think I'll do as I never use the Preferences feature anyway. Not that this had caused me any problems before it was mentioned ;-)

   Confirmed. no more change of size.

   Thanks.
