Details

Build ID: 2000041109 The View menu item's 'Enlarge Text Size' and 'Reduce Text Size' menu entries need to redo page layout after they're done. Right now they don't, which causes two problems: - there is no immediate apparent result and - if you do something to cause a text re-expose (which re-renders the text at the new size) various things are positioned wrongly. Reproduction: - visit http://www.memepool.com/ - Pick View | Enlarge Text Size - observe that there has been no visible change. - scroll down one page, then scroll back up. Voila! Alteration! - also: Voila! massively hard to read result, because while the text now takes more space, the size and location of things (such as text that is a link instead of normal text) hasn't changed, so lots of things stomp all over each other. A manual Reload will fix things up, re-rendering everything so that it's positioned properly. Similar but somewhat less visually disturbing results can be had if you do View | Reduce Text Size (since now things just leave blank space, instead of overlapping each other). You may need to do Enlarge Text Size (or Reduce Text Size) a couple of times before Mozilla decides that it should change the actual font size used.
Erik, I think you added this. It sounds like a DUP of bug #24343 so I'm marking it as such If that's not the case, then please change the bug as appropriate *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 24343 ***
