DESCRIPTION: The font size of the statusbar (except for "[Context Menu Proxy]") doesn't scale up with a method of simulating a user setting of a large font size. This is a problem for users with poor vision. (This should be configurable eventually...) STEPS TO REPRODUCE: * To simulate setting a large font size, add the following to the end of resource://res/ua.css (dist/bin/res/ua.css if apprunner.exe is in dist/bin/): :root { font-size: 18px; } * Start apprunner ACTUAL RESULTS: * All the text is big except the two above-mentioned items. EXPECTED RESULTS: * Everything should be big. DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON: * Linux, apprunner, 1999-10-15-11-M11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Screenshot to be attached.

Actually, that's not the best simulation, because it doesn't change the small/medium/large etc. keywords, which may be what is used in this case. So this bug may or may not be invalid...

Bill, should you or the current CSS chrome police get this one?

I think it's somebody else. I'm reassigning to Matt. He knows more about the .css than I do.

Checked this out on a recent build. It appears the new skin has fixed the "special case"-ness of the status bar. It now appears to inherit font characteristics from the base window font specification, you can test this for yourself by commenting the "font:" property out on the 'window' rule in global.css in a recent build. Restart Mozilla, you'll find all fonts (including statusbar font) are big. *goes back to waiting for system fonts to arrive*
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
the status bar is indeed picking up the same characteristics as the base window. Thanks for the "you can test this..." info. VERIFIED fixed with 2000011212 build
