ADA: pop-up text VOX - please expand to size of native text

0 Likes

When working with instructors who need to use larger font sizes due to visual challenges, we've noticed that the pop-up text VOX explanations don't display well with a large native font size. The text in the pop-up gets cut off, and is too small to be legible. It would be a great improvement if that pop-up would display in the size of the native text and also be scrollable in some way so that it can be useful to those with visual impairments requiring the use of large text sizes.

Thanks for sharing this idea. By "pop-up text VOX," are you referring to the tool tips that display upon mouse hover?

Thank you for helping us clarify this. We've asked our Accessibility team to investigate this, and they've determined that it is a bug: text scaling on the tooltips should work with font size changes. Please submit this as a support ticket using the support pathway provided by your school, and in the ticket description, please provide specifics about the font sizes being used and locations of the pop-ups that are impacted. Our engineers will take it from there.

As this doesn't need to be evaluated by the broader community, we've archived the idea.

Thanks again!
