CTR + Scroll doesn't zoom

I used to be able to hold the CTRL key while rolling the ball on my Mighty Mouse to zoom in and out on my Mac Pro. It hasn't worked in a while. I'm running High Sierra. Any ideas?

Mac Pro, OS X 10.11

Zoom window does not follow mouse cursor In System Preferences>Accessibility>Zoom I have Picture-in-picture as the zoom style with the options "Window position: Follow mouse cursor" "Hold ctrl alt to temporarily toggle zoom". However, whenever I trigger zoom by ctrl alt or by the keyboard shortcut the zoom window appears but freezes in place and does not follow the mouse cursor (I use the trackpad not a mouse). It always worked for the past 4 years but recently for no reason it stopped working. I tried turning it on and off, trying different configurations but no avail. I'm not sure if this change was right after I upgraded to Mojave or awhile after. Is this a bug or is anyone aware of 3rd party apps causing this? And is there a known solution to this issue? I have a Macbook Pro, Mid 2014 with macOS Mojave 10.14.6.

Cursor Zoom When Moving Quickly Hello - I am on a new 2018 Mac Mini with upgraded RAM. My cursor has an issue with zooming in when moving quickly or switching between items, but no accessibility features are enabled. Is this a common problem, and is there an easy fix? I'll attach a link to a photo of it occurring in the next post.

Macbook Suddenly Zoomed In (w/o CTRL) While scrolling down using trackpad, my MacBook Pro 16" screen suddenly zoomed in. I know I can zoom in by holding CTRL and scrolling down, but I didn't touch the keyboard this time. FYI, the mouse pointer icon also turned into a magnifier icon. How do I stop it?
