Description

@bruce-usab

On a Backlog TF call discussing G206, the use of “on a full-screen window” was noted as not being grammatically correct.

  • The preposition should be in not on
  • It‘s contradictory since, if an app is running full-screen, then there‘s no window!

Unfortunately, on a full-screen window is in the glossary. Further, the definition is dated to the point of being factually incorrect (emphasis added):

on the most common sized desktop/laptop display with the viewport maximized

The term appears only once in WCAG, as part of Success Criterion 1.4.8 Visual Presentation:

Text can be resized without assistive technology up to 200 percent in a way that does not require the user to scroll horizontally to read a line of text on a full-screen window.
