Text editor font size

[YS1]

Hello,
in the last update of the android app, the font of the editing section got bigger
(The Dropbox text editor)
This getting mess the text in the lines...

* I think a "text size" button will help. *

Not to actually change the font size in the original file just to change the view in the editor.

Please, really important for whom working with the editor a lot.

Thank you.

Hi @YS1, let's jump right into this! 

Can you send me a screenshot of what the font looks like on your end, please? 

Also, what is your current OS, and Dropbox version?

Keep me posted!

Hi, I'm a product manager on the mobile Previews team.  This was an intentional fix to make the fonts match between the edit/view experiences.  Can you share screenshots for how this might negatively affect your workflow?

hi,

I'm writing for years a text files with info's that i collect about

things during the day. diet, finance etc...only by mobile app.

now when the font got bigger a lot of my files "got mess"...

yes, i notice that the "view" was bigger at first when he came and in the last update

the "edit" also. well, a font size is a matter of personal choice...so let us choice 🙂

now i temporally "fix" that by choice a "extra small" font for all my android...well,

not the right solution...

maybe follow the "text size" definition of android "xs" "s" "l" "xl"...

thnx!

ohh, and a little button "Undo" on the text editor 🙂
