Dev channel update to 95.0.1011.1 is live
josh_bodnerNice selection of bug fixes as usual, and some great new features. But what's up with the huge text size in my Favourites the last few weeks? I was hoping that would have been fixed today.
See these examples. The text size of the folders in the drop down is bigger than those on the Favourites bar, and the text size of items in the folders is also bigger than the folder names.
I also left some feedback a while ago to be able to be able to Sort a Favourites folder by right clicking on it, and also if I move a Favourite's position inside a folder, the folder closes. That's quite annoying if I want to move several items, it should stay open so long as my mouse is there.
I've looked into the issue, but as you didn't tipped us what system you ride on I checked the fonts in my recluse den.
I do not use horizontal Favorite bar. I prefer right sidebar aka panel with pinned Favorites. Clicking its icon in toolbar swiftly hide/show the panel, so it's convenient. No need for the extra horiz space consumed by Edge when watching windows on FulHD monitor.
I'm not dead tiered now, but I might have overlooked something. My fonts are the same to me. See the screenshot in its glory (full size).
Pay attention, as well, to Fonts settings (second screenshot).

MS Edge Dev 95.0.1011.1-1
Debian Bullseye GNU/Linux 5.10.46-4, X.org 1.20.11, IceWM 2.1.2
Nvidia GeForce GTX 650, Driver 460.91.03, systemd 247 (247.3-6)I haven't changed these settings at all, they are default. But they only apply to text in websites, not to the UI itself. Changing this doesn't resolve my problem.
I'm typing this on an older laptop with a 1366x768 resolution. My Windows text size is set to 100%. My new laptop will arrive in the next few days with a 1920x1080 display. It will be interesting to see if I have the same issue there, and how the interface is with a high res display, and text zoom at different presets (125%, 150%)
josh_bodner - Giving a child item a bigger size than it's parent is a weird UI choice for me. Can you add a UI text size slider please? I think this would be appreciated by people with very high res displays too.
Thanks, I messed up two types of font settings. It had to be Vivaldi which slipped in writing my reply. On the other side, as you have Win, it's your brooch not mine. I've tried to suggest gently only, that there are other system/Edge solutions which work fine.
Wish you the best with your new laptop!
The retarded huge giant **bleep**ing dumb font is a dealbreaker.
I was trying edge today again, and after reading the forums I'll have to return to the outdated chrome version I was using.
Microsoft is always knee-bent on being an **bleep**. The bing-sidebar. The assholeness with changing search options. The bloated context menu. The stupid extensions menu that can't be **bleep**ing hidden.
The is a very simple principle that will keep ALL users happy: just don't be a giant **bleep** and allow users who don't want the garbage to turn it off.
- The bigger font size is by design. It's part of our work to refresh the visuals for Windows 11, and you'll see that it now matches the size in other menus like the right-click menu. As far as sorting your folders, if you do that from other places like the Favorites menu or page, you won't need to worry about the popups closing.
