Firefox text size increase affects menu bar and ads

When using Firefox If I increase the text size while on the page, the text size in the menu bar also increases causing the menu bar to lengthen and cover some of the ad block underneath... The text size in the ad block also increases causing some of it to be cut off... The text in the scrolling window does the same


Using IE6 when increasing text size the text in ad & on the menu & in the scroll box remains the same thus no problem...

I think, this only started happening on my last update of Firefox... Not sure but I think I would have picked it up via the ad blocks on my other pages.

Questions... Does the same happen in IE7?
Other browsers?
How can I fix?

Opera is one of he best for resizing. Firefox's resizing doesn't bother me until it way too big anyway. With IE 6, only parts of the page gets resized so it's 3rd on my list for resizing.

That's odd. My firefox (v2.0.0.1) doesn't exhibit the behavior you're describing. Just to make sure I understand, when you hold [ctrl] and roll the mouse wheel to zoom the text size, it zooms the text in the menu bar as well? Which version are you using?

Yes, that's correct - version 1.5.0.9

It has been suggested it might be an issue relating to CSS and overrides? Any thoughts?

Well, my suggestion would be to try upgrading to version 2, unless you've got some compelling reason not to. Sorry I can't be of more help as to _what_ is causing it.
