Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 401086

Dear folks,

the user interface to the zoom functionality includes three shortcuts: control-plus for increasing, control-minus for decreasing and control-zero for default size.

On my machine (SuSE 10.1), the control-minus does not work in all versions of Firefox 3 I have tested. It goes fine with FF 2, even with the same user profile. Zooming via View->Zoom->Zoom In works fine.

I understand that this bug report lacks any startoing point to debugging and reproducibility, but I am plainly unaware what kind of information I could offer that allows you to track the issue – unless someone has the same system installed.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any webpage
2. Press Control-Plus
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Page should get zoomed.

I have German keyboard hardware on this machine, but I use it with English keyboard layout.

The same system was hit by Bug 404112 that has now been fixed, but maybe there is a connection as it also has to do with font sizes.

It's bound to Ctrl-=, not Ctrl-+ like the "View > Zoom" menu says.

Yes, correct, this is the problem. Thank you!
