blender zoom in level is incorrect after flying mode commit

The zoom level gets messed up by Fly Mode.

Blender’s zoom level keeps shifting randomly, forcing me to constantly reset the viewport with Numpad ., which is extremely inconvenient.

I just recently found out that the zoom increment per single mouse wheel scroll up will change arbitrarily after using Fly Mode.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a 3D model.
  2. Press Numpad . to frame the selected object.
  3. Zoom out the viewport as far as you can .
  4. Use Fly Mode to move inward (simulate zooming in).
  5. Try to use the real zoom in function by scrolling the mouse wheel up once.

Expected Behavior

The viewport should zoom in and out smoothly as normal.

The viewport zoom level should remain consistent and keep the same value as after using Frame Selected.

Actual Behavior

The viewport zooms in excessively.

With just one single mouse wheel scroll up, the viewport camera cuts straight through the 3D model and shows nothing.

Question

Is there a way to keep the zoom level consistent?
Using Frame Selected moves the viewport camera, which is not what I want.

I only need the zoom level to stay stable without abrupt changes.

When I said “fly mode”, I actually meant “walk mode”. But I tried the real fly mode, it has the same issue.

Then, I asked deepseek. This suggestion helped me: Enable Auto Depth in Preferences. It works fine. Thanks.

Put it here instead and it will probably be fixed.
