Summary font-size measured in ex or ch scales quadratically with page zoom

WebKit's behavior seems identical to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=408777. Copied from there: > Example URL: > http://web.mit.edu/andersk/Public/font-size-css-units.html > > Steps to reproduce the problem: > 1. Visit http://web.mit.edu/andersk/Public/font-size-css-units.html > 2. At 100% page zoom, observe that all the lines are roughly the same size. > 3. Zoom in. > > What is the expected behavior? > All lines should get bigger by the same ratio. > > What went wrong? > The lines where font-size is measured in ex or ch get bigger much faster than the other lines. At 500% page zoom, they are shown at 25 times their original size. > > Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes > > Does this work in other browsers? Yes While Blink is also affected, Firefox and IE/Edge are not. Thanks in advance for looking into it!

The Blink bug has been fixed now, cf. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=408777. Using WebKitGTK+ 2.24.2, it appears the problem has been partially fixed in WebKit as well, i.e., it seems ex units are ok but ch units are still scaling up too much.

I am able to reproduce this bug in Safari Technology Preview 152 on macOS 12.5.1 and while zooming into test case from Comment 0, both "ch" and "ex" font-size grow faster than others while in all other browsers (Chrome Canary 107 and Firefox Nightly 106), it is not the case. Just wanted to share updated testing results. Thanks!
