Gantt Export - What I See algorithm

If I've zoomed in to see the gantt by week, i lose that granularity when I export the gantt - even if I select export 'what i see' . (I have the "Zoom To" set to "Project Duration".)

I've been told by WF Support that this is 'working as designed'. Their current algorithm is:
A) If displayed date range occupies less space than available paper width, gantt chart exports as-is without any change.
B) If displayed date range occupies more space than available paper width, gantt chart tries to zoom out enough to fit the displayed date range. This currently results in zoom level changes.

Please modify to also export as is for option B.

Would like to see this improved.

Agreed. The limited flexibility as it currently exists is problematic and frequently profanity-inducing.

I agree with this. Having the ability to have more control around how the gantt exports would be great. I would like to see a "fit to page" option on the export, as well as either having the "export what i see" to actually export the time period I have zoomed in on, or to have the ability to dictate date ranges/ granularity level in the export.
