Description

Maybe I'm getting old, but the font size in the text inputs and textareas on Trac is a bit small. It's 11px currently. Can we bump it up to 12 or 13px?

I second this request. The font size in the ticket description and comments is 14px, so perhaps we should increase the font size to 14px to match them?

I see font-size: 13px in Firebug: http://cl.ly/image/25030G36071B. Is that not what you see?

Looks like there's an inconsistency between Chrome and Firefox. Thetextarea in Firefox inherits that value, but it doesn't in Chrome.

#4 @SergeyBiryukov

Hmm, I see 13px in Chrome too: http://cl.ly/image/0R2w1Q0H0E0f. Perhaps a Mac OS vs. Windows inconsistency?

I'm seeing it at 11px too on Core and Meta Tracs, although Chrome Dev Tools gets confused by the cascading values and incorrectly reports it as 13px (which I've seen it do before on other sites).

It's correctly reported as 11px on the Computed tab, but wrongly as 13px on the Styles tab (see screenshots).

If you use dev tools to manually override the font-size with 12px, you'll see that it increases.

Cross-browser styling of form fields (especially selects) are painful. Happy to make any adjustments here.

497.diff increases the font size for the text inputs and textarea in the new ticket form, and the ticket comment textarea for existing tickets.

I see it as 13px in Chrome and Firefox. Looks the same in both to me.

So, the question isn't just a matter of bumping it up in the CSS. If some browsers are behaving differently in the CSS, then we need to understand why and what's going on.

Chrome reports it as 13px for me, and it looks identical to the same page in Firefox.

In 1934:

Trac: Improve readability in text and textarea form inputs by explicitly declaring the font-size as 13px.

This change is an attempt at addressing an issue exhibited by some browser in not correctly deducing the font size through inheritance.

Bumps the scripts version.

Fixes #497.

In 1935:

Trac: Re-bump the script version following [1934].

See #497.
