#708 No text rewrap after manual zooming on Android KitKat

[Emmanuel Engelhart]

My problem is that : when I zoom in, The App doesn’t re-wrap the text
, so it doesn’t fit within the screen. The result : It requires sliding the screen back and forth to see each line.

My screenshot here. My Tab is LG G Pad 8.3, update to Android 4.4.2
On my wife’s tab, Samsung old androi (3.2), The app is excellent.

Reproduced the behaviour where the contents don't resize when the contents are zoomed on a device running KitKat (4.4.2 on a Nexus 7 2013 edition). The contents do resize on a tablet running 4.2.2

Looks like to be a standart problem:

I agree, it seems to be related to the version of Android rather than specific devices. I've just tested on a Nexus 4 running KitKat 4.4.4 (with the Wiki Book Sheffield). The text does not reflow when I zoom the UI.

I don't think it's a version issue.
All the affected devices are high DPI devices. I have the same problem on my device on 4.2.1

Reg,
thanks for the information. What model is your device, and what are the screen specs please? That'll help us in our testing.

Added label so we can track the Android KitKat issues more easily.

I am having the same issue. Samsung S4 mini (serranoltexx) with latest CyanogenMod (nightly)

Here are some links to other discussions on this problem, which is caused by the replacement of the older WebView component to the one from Chromium, included as part of Android KitKat (as Emmanuel has already noted in an earlier comment)

I've implemented proper zoom functionality; it should work in the next released android version!

[Julian Harty]

Please can you add a link to the changes in the source code?
