I think it is more by design than a bug.

'Current zoom' and especially 'fit in window' have no fixed zoom factor.

Therefore they may not be exactly the same (fit in window will never be the same depending what is modelled in the view).

But I see your point if both views have exactly the same 'current zoom'.

 

If you actually save a custom zoom and set the views to that, then you will not see 'various'.

I think it a bug. I agree that "Fit to screen" for each drawing gives different result depending on drawing size, but I'am choosing what zooming function should be used for that drawing/drawings. If function "Names" are identical why they should be shown as "Various". For me to double check 10 or 100 same type drawings i need to select them all individualy and find out is it ok or not.

The problem I think is 'current zoom' becomes 'zoomed area' in the view settings.

Although it says the same - the actual zoom factor can be different, because it is simply the current zoom at the time you save the view.

So, it seems only saved custom zooms will not show as various because they are a definite zoom factor.

 

It is annoying though that it says the same thing in the settings but shows as various with multiple views selected.

It must be because the actual zoom factor could be different.
