945637 - some fonts too large with high DPI

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect, P5)

Description

[mozilla]

Attachment: Example at 100% zoom; problem is the same with 200% zoom

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131030203622

Steps to reproduce:

Set the font DPI to 180 (KDE desktop settings). Use NoSquint in Firefox with a zoom factor of 200%.


Actual results:

The vast majority of fonts in Firefox are unaffected by this, but a few (I only see it on some buttons and drop down boxes) are increased. This would be correct but the result is highly inconsistent; zooming in on the page to make the majority of the UI a reasonable size results in these aforementioned elements getting scaled up twice and becoming unreasonably large.


Expected results:

Font sizes to be consistent. Since I only see this in buttons and drop-down boxes it's probably a bug with those rather than general CSS/layout problem.

There are only a few websites exhibiting this issue; screenshot is from a Fedora bug page; this page has the same problem: http://www.passwordmaker.org/passwordmaker.html
