Default Midi editor awkward zooming

The present midi editor zooming with mousewheel is inconsistent with itself leading to some annoying behavior when zooming.

If you zoom anywhere where the viewport would not pass the left of the midi item you are editing it behaves as expected. The zoom centers around the mouse cursor.

However, if you would zoom to expose anything beyond the left of the current item, the viewport snaps to the left of the item, so you are no longer zooming on the mouse cursor.

It would be more consistent if we always zoomed toward the mouse cursor.

See me struggle to zoom centered on these left notes:

My interest in generative music stems from my hope to never open the MIDI editor again.

It's the kind of thing which just feels horrible to use but you can't quite put your finger on why.

I've just realised, too, that if it's a looped item with some of a repetition showing, it actually zooms fine on the left until you reach a low enough zoom level! >_>

Yeah, unfortunately, I have seen this behavior with other DAWs as well.
Not sure why this behavior is regarded as meaningful.
I fully agree, the zoom center should never move away from the mouse/play cursor and always be kept in focus.
