My "Edit Post" page looks different (text too large)

My post editor text also suddenly became larger a few days. Odd that WordPress would make such a change without informing users, or the staff about it. Wait…that’s normal isn’t it?

@ amightywp,
I normally use the latest Firefox (FF 33.1.1), but the same effect presents with Google Chrome.

Musicdoc, sorry to hear that you are also having this technical problem.

I don’t think WP intended for this to happen.

Shawna is looking into this and responded on this thread tonight:

Thanks, dandelionsalad,
Don’t mind me. Hope you’re correct, and thanks for the link. So you had different results on Chrome vs. Firefox in the classic editor?

No, I had the same results using Firefox and Chrome browsers. I did a temporary “fix” in Firefox so I could use it without the huge font size when editing or making new posts in the classic editor (visual mode). I didn’t make any changes to the text/font size in Chrome as I don’t use Chrome.

Guess I’m still a tad upset about something. Just can’t quite pin down what’s bugging me.

@dandelion,
Sorry. I misread your Nov 17, 2014, 5:09 PM comment on the related thread.

With FF 33.1.1 and Google Chrome, post editor (Classic) text is normal size in the Text mode, abnormally large in the Visual mode, as you described.

Yes, chrome has the problem too. What I do at the current tim is use chrome only for editing and Firefox for all other issues, WP and not WP.

Staff responded tonight on this thread with news that indeed there have been changes to the editor default text size.

Thank you, it’s back to normal for me as well !

The too-large text/font size is back on the visual mode of the classic editor again.

Are you certain? I just checked under Firefox in visual, both standard and distraction-free, and see nothing abnormal (in terms of size)…

Yep, it’s way too large once again. It happened while I was editing a new post from one minute to the next, the text size went too large.

Here are the screenshots:

Firefox Visual mode Nov 23 too large text

Chrome Visual mode Nov 23 OK

This is happening with Firefox only at the moment as you can see in the above screenshots.

Mine has changed again too — while the text is small enough, not enlarged, the font has changed, and I didn’t change it.

I wish they’d quit messing with the coding or whatever is going on!

Mine too, by now..! Actually, I work on two posts in parallel and they do not even have the same font size!!!

Hey folks,

Shawna and I are talking to the devs who have been working on this. We’re hoping to get some additional information here soon and when we do we will let you know.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience!
