Text editor font size

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 🙂

    Got it -- That does feel annoying! I'll bring this back to the team to investigate!
