911360 - Text formatting is broken

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 912159

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[George R. Goffe]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130814063812

Steps to reproduce:

Went to https://investor.vanguard.com/home/. I have chosen font sizes that are different than the defaults because I don't see very well and LIKE the larger sizes. This ought NOT to be a problem but it is.


Actual results:

https://investor.vanguard.com/home/ has text formatting overlays.


Expected results:

NO overlays.

Are you referring to overlapping text under "What We Offer"? If so, this is a website bug and not a Firefox bug.

The page is designed to assume that the font is a certain size, so if it's bigger than expected then the text will overlap.

It's not something that Firefox can fix. You'll have to contact the website instead. Firefox just displays the page as the site tells it to.

Although this is an unfortunate problem, even if it can be fixed better than by the workaround of installing NoSquint https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/, maybe we should have/find a bug to which to dupe all the bugs about this…  Or maybe the can be considered Tech Evangelism bugs?..

OK, I've made such a bug.

There is overlay to the right of "Invest now" but it's probably the same issue.

Thanks for your time.
