Victor & Armando,

No, the problem only occurs when opening some web sites while using Firefox (Iam using V12.0).
It is the web page itself that becomes distorted while increasing the text.
I have quite a number of apps, but none of them are used to display the web site display.

This is the web site I was using as an example in the copies in my email:
Track Economic Index Trends and Graph Financial Industry Rates - http://tinyurl.com/3dhktzp

Some more examples:

These sites display that work without any distortion:
TheFrugalComputerGuy.com - http://thefrugalcomputerguy.com/

Best Free Portable Applications - https://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-portable-programs.htm

Windows In Your Pocket : Introduction - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/windows-pocket,1113.html

But these sites become distorted if the text on the page is increased:
The Best Tips and Tweaks for Getting the Most Out of Firefox - How-To Geek - http://www.howtogeek.com/111889/the-best-tips-and-tweaks-for-getting-the-most-out-of-firefox/

100 best ever free PC system tools | News | TechRadar - http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/100-best-ever-free-pc-system-tools-705029


I hope these additional sites may point to the issue.

Thanks,

Brian

Agreed!, Victor is on the right track. Is this an app accessed through some web browser, an "add on", or is it an installed program?

Hi Brian!

 

What application is the one you are having problems with? Is it an older app?

 

From what I know, each program can act differently in terms of how it handles larger displays. Some were not set up to work properly at different resolutions or type size. Newer applications have built-in routines for handling this settings.

Hello, to all TTT users

The TTT users seem to have everything under control!
Not much action on the site.
Maybe a little bored and need a challenge.
It is time for a little stimulation.
Time to problem solve.

I have been having some display problem  with Java and Flash.
It seems I have managed to fix all of them except on problem I suspect may still be related to one or both of them.

The problem:
I have a 25" monitor and at age 69 I need larger text to be able to read comfortable.
When I increase the text size the text shifts position and then overlaps other text.

This is a normal display with small text:


One click of the mouse scroll wheel to increase the size moves the Credit Cards from the top to the 2nd line:


Another click to increase the size slightly and Product info moves to the right and the Rate information is gone :


And finally a few more clicks moves the Product info is nearly out of site and Average overlaps other text:


Finally a few more clicks and total distortion happens:


There is no distortion in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Opera!



Any help, ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

Brian
