Text size settings in the browser don't affect chat text sizes #730
Description
Describe the bug
This is relating to the ETSI EN 301 549 Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services point 11.7, "User preferences".
It should be possible to enlarge the text to at least twice the height and width without problems arising (for example, text ending up behind an image or clashing with other text).
One way to do this is by changing the text size settings in the browser or device settings.
Changing the text size in Google Chrome has no effect on any of the text - it seems like the only thing affected by it is the "Send message" button, which doesn't even contain text. The image below shows the chat widget at three different text size settings.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Change the browser's text size settings.
- Note that the text in the chat does not change size.
Expected behavior / suggestion
Text on the page should respond to text size settings. If you avoid absolute measures of font-size such as px ans pt and instead use relative measurements like rem or em this will work as expected.
