Can reproduce CR: It specifically seems to be that if you happen to accidentally initiate a scroll gesture (which is quite easy) before adding the second finger to the pinch, the zoom no longer starts. ;; Version 2026.09.100, Beta 7, Channel Beta, Build 81, iOS 27.0.1 (arm64), Device iPhone14,4, Locale en-US, Push apns, Flutter 3.47.5, Dart 3.13.4
