Steps to reproduce:
Open your settings on iOS 15.5 (I have an iPhone XS.)

Search for Text Size. Choose any of the larger text sizes (like the top 3) by mving slider to the right.

Open Orion via Testflight. Click the More icon on the right. See how the text size destroys the UI of the tab listing with clipping & overflow.

But if you choose a tab or Option (say Settings), Orion displays the page correctly with large text.

Now, navigate to any page. (I used zeit.de). Note how type size again overflows & is clipped.

Expected behavior:
I expect the UI to be able to handle all standard iOS type size options, as Safari does.

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Orion 1.03.123
IOS 15.5
iPhone XS

    Vlad The menu should increase in width and height to accommodate for the larger text size. Attached is a picture of Safari.

        If I change the text size (Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202828) most applications adjust their UI elements as well.

        However Orion browser doesn't. Only text is adjusted there (address bar, menus etc.), taking things out of proportion and especially in the case of increased size and not increased UI elements (address bar stop/reload button, menu bar icons etc.) it doesn't make things much easier to use (especially on the smaller screen such as on the iPhone mini). For comparison Safari will increase the size of all those buttons and menu bar items as well, which is great.

        Here are some screenshots from Safari using the smallest and largest text size settings. Though these screenshots look a little different than what's shown on the screen, they appear to cover these differences:
        Small text size:

        Large text size:

        Would it be possible to make Orion scale its UI elements similarly to Safari and other applications?

            Steps to reproduce:

            • Increase text size
            • Observe broken formatting

            Expected behavior:
            For the browser to scale well to larger text sizes

              BomberFish changed the title to IOS app does not adapt well to larger text sizes .

                BomberFish Can you show some other Safari menus? (like when you tap aA, and settings...)

                Btw are all those extensions work for you?

                    Here is the Aa menu in Safari:

                    And the favicon menu in Orion:

                    Also, the settings menu seems to scale well in Orion.
