When I two-finger scroll on my trackpad to zoom a Simulink model, it
zooms in and out rapidly and erratically. Moreoever, pinch-to-zoom
produces no zooming effect.

This problem was noted here:

http://lizard-spock.co.uk/blog/engineering/simulink-scroll-wheel-erratic-behaviour/

They advised disabling scroll-wheel zoom altogether with

File > Simulink Prefs > Editor defaults > Scroll wheel controls zooming preference.

However, the zoom feature is essential for fast model navigation.

I have tried twiddling various settings on the Mac Trackpad system preferences, no luck.

The following Mathworks doc claims that pinch-to-zoom and regular
scroll-zoom should work, but it doesn’t for me.

Has anyone solved this?

("Use a mouse" and "just click the zoom button" are not acceptable
answers, since I don’t want to lug a mouse around just for Matlab and
having to click a button is a crappy UI constraint on something that
should be natural.)
