I'm not crazy - font size control disappears!

Control panel for new post:

Control panel for any subsequent post or edit:

Have you been messing with the "[ ]" BB Code control again, Dave? And where did the Christmas sherry go?

Nope. Not that.

^{(And I can neither donfirm nor ceny the missing Shristmas Cherry)}

When I started a new thread just now, I had to click the "More Options" button at the bottom of the screen to get the line that had the font size control. Maybe try that? (I'm on a Win10 laptop)

"More Options" button

 

[berkeman]

Okay, give me a second to take a screenshot. That Christmas sherry had better be back by the time I post the pic...

 

[DaveC426913]

No, I see it.

It's different depending on how you start a new thread.

 

[berkeman]

This is what I see before clicking the big More Options button in the lower right. Clicking it adds in the font size selector to the Options line at the top.

 

[DaveC426913]

Yes. But....


There's more than one way to start a new thread.

I can start a new thread "inline", thus:

and I get the editor with "More Options", thus:

Or I can start a thread with the "Post Thread" button, thus:

and I get the extra editor functions directly, thus:

But - there is no such control when I reply to a thread, thus:

or when I edit a post, thus:

 

[berkeman]

But what? You click that button and you still don't see the text size control?

Are you on a laptop? Which OS and browser? I'm using Firefox.

 

[berkeman]

Oh, I see what you are asking now. The Reply option does not display the font control or the "More options..." button.

Yeah, neither does the Edit button.

Text size in the editor has been disabled for many years. It's unnecessary and too often abused.

Doesn't look disabled to me...

I meant not in the toolbar. The bbcode will still work.

_{Yay. The thing I really wanted to use I have managed to instead get deprecated. Yay.}

 

[berkeman]

Too bad the tiny fonts cut off at the baseline. Otherwise I'd say "Yav!" too.

 

[Algr]

Does it still cut off if it is not the last line? yygg
?

Never ask a question that you do not already know the answer to.
