Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Graham Armfield]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0

Steps to reproduce:

Using Firefox 106.0.1 on Windows 10 laptop.

1. I visited a web page that contains element input type="date". An example could be this one: http://research.coolfields.co.uk/forms/html5-date.html
2. Page is neither zoomed in, or text resize is set to normal.
3. I clicked on date control and calendar popup opens - note size of font.
4. Close calendar popup.
5. Zoom in to 200% - text on page is much bigger.
6. Click on date control and calendar popup opens - note that size of font in calendar popup has not increased.
7. Return size to normal with Ctrl+0
8. Select Zoom text only in View menu and increase font size to 200%
9. Click on date control and calendar popup opens - note that size of font in calendar popup has not increased.

Actual results:

In neither case did the font size in the calendar popup change.

Expected results:

I would have expected the font size in the calendar popup to grow when both zooming and resizing just text.

The zoom and text resize facility is a useful accessibility tool for people who have poor vision. If the text does not resize or zoom in it can make forms using input type="date" very difficult to use.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Layout: Form Controls' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
