Details

When setting font size to an absolute unit, they should not change size when the user changes the text size via the menu. An example of this would be setting the font property to menu. This is a system size (thus should be ledgable) and should not change. Reproducable: always. Example code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <title>New Page 1</title> </head> <body style="font-size: 8.5pt;"> <p>This is my test text.</p> </body> </html> Jeff Yates.
Sorry this is incorrect. winIE (or opera?) may change text sizes depending on units but remember a web author can set the font size in any unit but ultimately if the page viewer (you or me) wants to make the font size larger/smaller it is their choice not the web author. MS winIE impliments this "view text size" feature quirky like everything else in the browser. This issue has been discussed previously (in dupe reports, of course I can't find one now) and always comes to the same conclusion (INVALID or WONTFIX). Marking Invalid because changing page text size from the mozilla menu item View/Text Size is not dependant on units or if referenced in either CSS or HTML.
