1927872 - about:welcome screens do not reflow at 400% zoom

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Messaging System, defect, P2)

Description

[Natalie Stroud [:nstroud]]

Attachment: Screen 1 in the about:welcome wizard with 400% zoom enabled in the browser

Prerequisites:

Found in Nightly 133.0a1 (2024-10-28)(64-bit)
Increase zoom in browser to 400%

STR:

1. Open about:welcome from the URL bar
2. Navigate through the about:welcome wizard with 400% zoom on in the browser.

Expected/Actual:

Avoiding the need to scroll in the direction of reading in order to reveal lines that are cut off by the viewport is important, because such scrolling significantly increases the effort required to read. It is also important that content is not hidden off-screen. For example, zooming into a vertically scrolling page should not cause content to be hidden to one side. (Intent - WCAG 1.4.10 Reflow)

Once the user has enabled their browser to zoom up to 400%, a horizontal scroll bar is required to continue reading and to access some buttons throughout the about:welcome wizard.

Content should be reflowed so that it all appears and is accessible through vertical scrolling
