User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0 Build ID: 20160817112116 Steps to reproduce: Create a webpage with <img src="http://imgs/xkcd.com/comics/migrating_geese.png" title="Something"> Note how if you hover over the image, the word Something appears. Now press Ctrl++ several times to zoom in. Note how all words and graphics on the page zoom. Hover over the image once more and see the word Something appear. Actual results: The font was the same size as before and did not scale with the page zoom. Expected results: The font, like all other text, should have zoomed proportional to the page zoom.

I don't think tooltips are affected by zoom level. It's the same behaviour than when you hover over a link <a>, the tooltip size is fixed.

@Loic - Agreed. I would assume that's an accessibility thing, but maybe the burden is on the OS for that piece of accessibility.
Severity: trivial → S4
