Zoom update 7.05 interface issue

With the latest zoom 7.0.5 on Mac, It appears that increasing font size on the chat (Cmd+= and Cmd+- ) increases the font on the sidebar as well. This is such an inconvenience. Is there a way to revert back to previous zoom way that increasing fonts only applied to the chat window only and not the sidebar. I would like to keep the width and the visible rows the same when I want to only see the messages with a larger font. 

To support side bar font size change, a separate setting could be used.

In addition, It would be great if zoom just uses the system standard font in Mac/Windows so that it appears more local instead of using the custom zoom font.

    Does this issue / “feature” persist in 7.1.0?

    Yes still an issue. And it’s annoying. Wish to keep the sidebar size at 100% but increase the chat text size to 200%. Now i can’t since it blows up the sidebar to such an extent the chat window can’t be displayed.

    Previously this was possible.
