Title: Text size gets changed without me doing it
Post by: soybean on May 05, 2006, 09:09:39 AM

This occasionally happens in my IE.  Any ideas why?

Do you use the mouse scroll wheel at all?  If you happen to catch the control key at the same time, it changes the text size on many web sites.

Yes, I frequently use the scroll wheel.  So, I believe you may be quite right.  Thanks.

Just to be safe, make sure your virus and Spyware portection is current.

Good point but I'm OK there.  I'm sure it happened due to hitting the Ctrl key while using the mouse wheel.  I often use the Ctrl key for copy and paste.
