772541 - "Text Size" dialog should reflow the page on preference change

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

Users will see no effect from the "Text Size" dialog if the page is not reflowed (or at the very least, refreshed). Therefore, they will change the setting, see no difference, change it again, etc.

From bug 715179:

[e-mail]:
Also, I have an idea. We should reload the current tab if the text size setting is changed (otherwise a user might change the text size, go to the page and see no difference, change it again, still get no results, etc.). I'm not sure how to implement this (if it's even possible - though I assume so), but do you want me to take a look into it?

[e-mail]:
Yes, and ideally we should re-lay-out the page without actually reloading it, to avoid losing any state.  I thought this already worked, though in my testing I see it doesn't.  (So either it stopped working, or I was just imagining things.)  Please file another follow-up bug for this.
