ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Rory 2024-11-18 20:19:13 UTC

Same behavior in Kate

Comment 2 Christoph Cullmann 2024-11-18 20:41:01 UTC

Did you zoom in the document?

Comment 3 Rory 2024-11-18 21:31:44 UTC

(In reply to Christoph Cullmann from comment #2)
> Did you zoom in the document?

Issue happens when document is at default zoom level or zoomed in.

After changing font if I zoom in the front remains the same and does not update to the new setting.

Comment 4 Christoph Cullmann 2024-11-18 21:47:58 UTC

At least when one zoomed once I can reproduce and understand why it is that way.

Comment 5 John Kizer 2024-11-25 16:52:51 UTC

I can reproduce this if zooming in has been used on that file at all - once zooming has been used (even if the document was manually zoomed back to 100%), font changes are not seen in the document until I go to View > Reset Font Size.

Are you able to reproduce this from a freshly opened KWrite/Kate window that has had no zooming applied to it at all, or only once zooming has been used at least once? (To narrow down the scope of the bug)
