Just got the new Samsung tab S. I love it but.....whenever I need to enter user ID or password that section always zooms(kind of like mouse over w/ magnification) , it also sometimes zooms a link when I go to click it. Can't find anything in settings. Also will zoom a page w/o double tapping. I find this rather irritating and pointless. Anyone have any ideas?

re:

Welcome to Android Central! This occurs if the text entry field is relatively small, and you don't tap it exactly in the center. If you tap it slightly off center, the browser will automatically magnify that area and allow you to tap again, to make sure you're tapping the right area. This can be useful if there are multiple links or buttons close together. I don't believe there's a way to turn it off. You can prevent this from happening by zooming in a little (with pinch gestures) before tapping a text entry field.
