      One website does it 100% of the time. Today, I was working on a series of screens (enter data, go to the next, etc.) and suddenly the 'next' screen was displayed at an unworkable unreadable size. I tried to attach a sample, but 'I don't have the privilege to attach a screenshot'

        @rmunson1 I really need to have the ability to show a screenshot so that you can understand the misery of this problem. It is not a minor inconvenience. It is unusable...thus go to Chrome and give up on Opera.

          @rmunson1 If you, for some reason, can't upload an image here, upload it to somewhere else and post the link here

            @rmunson1 You probably set the Zoom really tiny. Click on the O menu and reset it.

              @leocgI have no idea where or how to 'upload it to somewhere'.

              @sgunhouse - the O menu allows me to zoom back to 100% so I now have an easy and successful workaround when this happens. However, I didn't set the zoom really tiny, it is just doing it. I have no idea why. For me, I had one easy recreatable situation - whenever I launched: https://verified.capitalone.com/auth/signin#/esignin?Product=ENTERPRISE I had a tiny unusable screen. But, since I could autoload id and password, the screen size didn't matter and the next screen I got was 100% and all was well. This problem got posted due to it happening on another web site (passport submission), and the fields were so tiny that it was unusable so I needed to switch to Chrome and start all over.

              For me, those were the only 2 instances. Capitalone and passports. And once I got there I could not get out. But the O menu provides a solution to zoom out. Now, when I launch Captialone, having zoomed out once, it now launches correctly, just as it did in Chrome. I suspect there is some inadvertent keyboard shortcut to shrink and it is persistent until it is unshrunken.
              Thx for the responses.

                @rmunson1 Use one of the several free image hosts around there.

                  @rmunson1 There is a keyboard shortcut for Zoom -100% intended for use after Zoom +100%; though I don't use either often enough to recall them. There is also the Zoom Reset shortcut which is *. I was expecting you had accidentally hit Zoom -100% (which can't actually zoom to 0%) and couldn't figure out how to get back. Single-key shortcuts can be dangerous if you hit the wrong one by accident.
