It seems that nothing I try that sets the zoom factor anytime before the load/setURL completes (ie. the loadFinished signal is generated) is just ignored by QtWebEngine. This is a bug as far as I am concerned.

This is what makes this bug hard as every time we load or reload a page after edits with a zoom factor set to something other than 1.0, we need to re-apply that zoom before scrolling to a particular location. But since zoom seems to be actually done asynchronously, we have to delay since there is no signal to tell us zoom is done.

I might try reversing the older to see if that helps (scroll first and then zoom).

Update: That fails too!

So right now the only "solution" is already in master. Let's hope it works on a wide variety of Windows, macOS, and Linux machines because I do not have a different solution that works.
