Is there a way for the browser zoom to stop acting this way trying to fit elements even after zooming ?
As you can see zooming in on this webpage is causing stuff to overlap ...
Another thing is can you stop the web page to zoom in when enterting text fields ?
I am asking this cuz suppose there are fixed elements on the screen , zoomin to a text field sometimes causes it to overlap between the fixed element and squished between the keyboard ..
Any solutions to uniformly zoom the whole page without trying to fit everything on one page would be great

Hey all, I read over the forums a bit, and I saw quite a few threads about changing just the SMS font size, but not changing the rest of the System font sizes. I have figured out a way to do it for the tilt 2 for AT&T.
The font size is not really the issue when it comes to the SMS font. The issue relis on the zoom of the screen. The SMS screen for texting carry a different setting for zoom, and it saves it when you change it. If you want to change the size of the SMS font, simply increase or decrease the zoom of the screen. This will only affect the SMS texting screen, and not the rest of the system.
Hope this helps everyone ^_^.
Font Zoom
Thanks for that tip to increase the font size in my text messages. I don't even know how I reduced them--just, one day, I couldn't even read them without my magnifying glasses. This fixed it right up. I selected a text, scrolled the zoom bar and, BAM! Back to readable.

I have a verizon phone that is unlocked, using with at&t. My zoom bar does not work with sms. Do you have any idea how to get it to work. I am to the point that I need reading glasses to see the small SMS text size and yes I have it set to the largest size in wm6.5.
Hi, i have a question about our Desire's Browser and (due to my poor english language) for explain it i post a link to a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVJhiWlOUAo&feature=player_embedded#!
(sorry, it's in Italian but you can understand what i mean only watching first part of it)
Now, watch the Galaxy S [Iphone doesn't exist for me ], in first test he opens a web page, pinch to zoom and the page only zoom without moving;
the page is
http://www.telefonino.net
and if i do the same on my Desire (zoom in the same point), it zoom ten rearrange all and i don't want it!
Is this function disabled on our Desire? I think it's all better and smooth if it doesn't rearrange everithing everytime i pinch to zoom. Isn't it? What do you think?
Thanks for help,
Andre

I've noticed the same, if there is a workaround, or fix or whatever, i would very much like to hear about it as well.
Found solution
Found a solution:
use this trick:

then goto settings, scroll down and check "Normal Rendering"; now the browser doesn't rearrange pages everytime you zoom in/out
Ok I've searched hi and low for this with no luck. I am almost 50 and am starting to need reading glasses to see the fine print. I have an HTC Touch Pro2 with Wm6.5. I have the text size set to the largest setting but would love to have it a bit larger. Mainly for my contacts and text messaging. I have the text set to 300% when typing but I neet the messages that are sent to me to show up larger. It would also be nice if the zoom bar worked with text messages as it does with web pages. I know I am not the first to have this problem, hopefully someone can put me on an app or fix for this.
Carry and use reading glasses...Or get glasses with line free bi-focals. You might be surprised how your overall sight improves...

Basically having the issue on FaceBook but it has cropped up in other spots as well.
Currently using Gingerbread Keyboard.
The issue is that in both horizontal and vertical, the space provided within which to type something is so darn narrow top to bottom that after the first line of text, I can't see what I'm typing, maneuver the cursor, etc.
Am I missing something or is that just the way it is?
I have a stock E4GT. While entering words with Swype is great, unless I am missing something, I am finding editing already-entered text (in web fields, in the email app, in the gmail app, etc.) really annoying. Sometimes I get the annoying giant copy/paste/etc. toolbar which covers up most of the text field, making scrolling in it difficult. Sometimes, I can't move the cursor to a given location, either because the device insists on selecting a whole word rather than just moving the cursor or because for some reason things don't show up on the right line. The on-screen keyboard has no arrow keys for precise positioning. Often (especially in the email app) when I tap on a word further up and then try to tap on one of Swype's alternatives for it, the alternative doesn't replace the word I tapped, but occurs in some fairly random spot in the text field. Zooming in would help, but typically I can't zoom while editing a text field.
I really, really miss the ease and precision of editing text on the resistive screens of my Palms with a stylus, with an on-screen keyboard that has arrow keys (I used myKbd, which I wrote). Swype beats the Palm on-screen keyboard (but maybe not the Treo thumbboard) for speed of entry (and the Palm TX had some infamous hardware-based digitizer problems), but correcting stuff on the E4GT is really annoying.
Am I the only person who writes lengthy, thought-out emails?
Enough griping.
Question: Is there anything I can do to make editing text less painful?
Will ICS fix this? Is there some app, perhaps a root-requiring one, that improves text field editing?
