Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801 The keyboard shortcut of the command to increase font size in a viewed page is shown on the View/Text Size menu as: Ctrl + + But it doesn't work! When I type those characters as specified, it's "Ctrl + (Shift to get to the "+" sign) + and nothing happens. What you need on that menu for a shortcut is: Ctrl + =

Tsu Dho Nimh, please check that a bug still happens in a recent nightly build (less than a week old) before filing it. Mozilla 0.9.3 is months out of date, and in current builds, Ctrl++ works whether or not you hold down the Shift key. Marking worksforme.

At issue is not the keystroke combination, but that the TEXT of the menu does not give the CORRECT keystroke shortcut. The text of the menu is still incorrect in Mozilla 0.9.6 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 (downloaded and installed today) PLEASE CHANGE THE TEXT OF THIS TOOLBAR MENU: View/TextZoom/Larger FROM CTRL ++ TO CTRL += "CTRL++" misleads users into typing Ctrl Shift + to get to the "+" sign, and "CTRL++" does not workforme today on a PC with a standard PC-type keyboard (not a mainframe or UNIX keyboard) However, "CTRL+=" does workforme today, just as it did in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801

reporter: did you select os:'all', or did bugzilla do that for you? <ctrl>+<shift>+<=> does not work for me. mozilla 0.9.6 release. But, this is a dupe. For fun, none of <ctrl>+<num-equals>, <ctrl>+<num-plus>, <ctrl>+<shift>+<num-equals>, <ctrl>+<shift>+<num-plus> work either.

FWIW ... Mozilla 0.94 for LINUX (Mandrake 8.1 has this version) doesn't care if the command is entered as CTRL ++ or CTRL += (holding down the SHIFT key doesn't make a difference to it) But the same computer and keyboard can't get text to become larger with CTRL++ (actually CTRL SHIFT and the = key) with Windows 95. It must be CTRL+= (no shift key) to work. So either it has reappeared in 0.96 after being fixed in 0.94, or there is a OS-specific difference in the way keystrokes are handled. The fast fix is to make the menu text match what works on Windows and LINUX.
Wfm 2001121703, Win95. Perhaps a peculiar keyboard driver on reporter's machine? Otherwise, I don't see why to leave this big unresolved.

The driver is WIN95 generic and the machine is a generic "PC" clone. I can't test MOZILLA on any other machuines, because the workplace uses NT and we peasants don't have install priveleges. The fast fix is to make the menu text match what works on both Windows and LINUX, and probably what you intended (the resizing keystrokes of "CTRL -" and "CTRL =" are used in GIMP and a few other LINUX programs.
