In some cases legacy values need to be floored, in other cases they need rounding.

This relies on undefined behavior and can be a real problem in practice. There is no guarantee on the order of evaluation of arguments when calling a function. Setting zoomFactor as a side effect in one argument and looking at zoomFactor as part of the expression for another argument can give different results on different compilers. Please split the call to adjustForLocalZoom out into a separate expression.

Same problem here.
