Hello,
Unfortunatelly I don't know more about magnifier and related 
functionalitybecause I am completelly blind thus I can take no advantage 
of it. I have just tried to help you out to find what you were looking for.
To better diagnose this we will most likelly need to wait for anyone 
more knowledgeable to answer.

Thanks and greetings

Peter
