Correct. Visio uses specific zoom factors to show drawings and cannot
display intermediate zoom levels. This was done to keep an integral number
of pixels between gridlines in the drawing. If this isn't done, shape size
and alignment can appear to vary. (How do you display a line that is
supposed to be 4.5 pixels long? 4 pixels or 5 pixels?)

This is probably a technical problem that can be overcome with today's
modern rendering surfaces, but Visio would need to rewrite a big portion of
its display engine first.
