656875 - Scaling down the body makes the smallest text pieces disappear.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Paul Rouget [:paul]]

Attachment: bug

In this page, the body is scaled down according to the size of the window, to make the 800x600 content fit in the window.

To reproduce, resize the window (make it smaller), until some text starts to disappear.

Once "scale(0.715)" is reached, some pieces of the text start to disappear.
First, the footer. At "scale(0.685)", the 7 first words. At "scale(0.5)", everything.

I say "pieces" because it doesn't look like DOM related. Sometimes, just a letter disappear (if the letter happens to be smaller than the others).

I've tried to reproduce this and everything looks ok now. The text doesn't disappear when I resize the window.
