Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gcalctool
I just accidentally maximized gcalctool. Slightly suprisingly that I
could maximize it. Then I noticed the buttons all got bigger to fill
the space. Also cool. Surprising again, but actually perhaps handy.
What if I'm (partially) blind? Then I noticed that the font size of the
buttons was still the same (size 12?) as when the calculator was a
normal size window.
It would be helpful, I think, that since the buttons already scale to
fill the container size, why not also have the character font scale to
fill the button size? If this is /not/ a desirable action, this could
be added as an accessibility option.
Merits:
- this should be an easy fix, perhaps 30 minutes for someone new to the code,
or 5 minutes for a regular maintainer.
- another bonus for gcalctool. (Accessibility)
- if done properly, should not bloat the binaries since font information is
already compiled in or shared.
Cool.
P.S. Sorry if there's extra information attached to this bug. I'm a
lazy snit and clicked the Help->Report a Problem link to get here . . .
