Issue description
Chrome Version : 63.0.3239.132
OS Version: OS X 10.13.2
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari:
Firefox:
IE/Edge:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set your browser zoom to 150% (for example)
2. Access any website with an input where autocomplete is triggered
3. Start typing to trigger autocomplete
What is the expected result?
The 'autocomplete' drop down UI should mirror the browser scale
What happens instead of that?
The 'autocomplete' drop down remains 100% scale. This is an accessibility issue for users that browse with non standard scale/zoom settings.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Able to reproduce this issue on reported version 63.0.3239.132 , on latest canary 65.0.3316.0 using Windows 10, Ubuntu 14.04 and Mac 10.13.1 with Facebook login page. This issue is seen from M50[50.0.2661.0]. Hence considering this issue as Non-regression and marking as Untriaged.

I'm not sure we want to change this. The autofill dropdown should follow screen DSF (it already does) and react to system font size settings (I dunno if it does). Those are two things that users should change if they want larger text for native Chrome UI.

estade@: last time we discussed this, we couldn't find a way for users to change system font on Chrome OS that was not the same as the browser font. If there is a way of changing system font and browser font independently, then maybe this is simply a discoverability issue. Otherwise, it may be hard for users who need larger font sizes to actually see what we present. The same is also applicable to omnibox, menus, etc.

On Chrome OS, users who need things larger for a11y should zoom everything with ctrl shift +.

I wonder if we should make that shortcut more discoverable. It seems too obscure to me, and I think users should be able to find it from the search box in settings.

While I understand the technical reason that this varies from the browser input elements in scale and size I would argue that this is only because browser vendors adopted their own input element UI above and beyond that of the host OS and thus there is now inconsistency in how elements like this (which didn't come along for the ride) are treated. The best result for the end user would be for autocomplete dropdowns to fall inline with the scaling of the input elements they are attached to. While it might be possible to rectify this with OS size settings, hardly anyone is going to work that out and in a world where most users 'live' in the web browser and have little exposure to the actual OS of the computer... it makes much more sense for the browser to just sort this out for them. |
