Vimium: Zoomed text, posible bug

Created on 12 Jun 2016  路  5Comments  路  Source: philc/vimium

I love your plugin, I'm having great time using it, but I've found a possible bug under OSX.

If I have a zoomed by the OS chrome window and I try to navigate by pressing f or F but the links at the screen wont have any "shortcut" letters to type.

This kind of zoom is done by double taping on the text, I think is called something like autozoom, or pinching with to fingers. All quite "iPhone style"

Taking a look at the code, the problem could be the calc of the visible area.

I know this is a particularly edge case, because vimium is thought to use the mouse/trackpad less, but I find my self reading large articles by this "zoom" method quite often.

Hope it helps, regards

I'm having the same issue. If I enter hint mode while zoomed out, they're at the right place. If I enter it while zoomed in, they're (I think) where they would be without zooming. Note that zooming via trackpad pinch-to-zoom is different than zooming from within chrome: The former zooms the whole page while keeping the layout, while the latter rejustifies text to always fit the screen.

It looks like we're getting the visible area correct. (The hints are shorter because fewer are visible.) It's the positioning that's wrong.

This issue still remains as of the latest version (1.59). Seems to me that when entering hint mode while zooming, the hints are incorrectly shifted by the position of the upper-left point of the visible area.
