OPTION-COMMAND-LEFT ARROW zooms to fit (horizontally) the entire sequence in the width of the window. To zoom all the way out hold the OPTION key while clicking on the horizontal minus sign. That's what I'm seeing here anyway.

Same here. Option-Command-Left Arrow shows you everything. Isn't that "zooming all the way out"? If not, what does "zoom all the way out" mean anyway? No matter how far you zoom out, there is something to the right. Option minus sign zooms out more than seems reasonably necessary.

Thanks, guys! That makes perfect sense. Showing the entire sequence is obviously what it's intended to do. What's more is that I've wondered what possible utility could be had in zooming literally "all the way out" as far as the window will zoom. That isn't useful for anything except flattening your entire sequence into about a half-inch bar. This does zoom all the way out to the end of the sequence, and that's exactly what it SHOULD do.
