Overview

This PR addresses WCAG 2.1 reflow compliance issues when users zoom their browser to 400%. At 400% zoom, the effective viewport width becomes much smaller (e.g., 1280px becomes 320px effective width), causing content overlap and text cropping on the PWA Builder home page.

Problem

When users set browser zoom to 400% with 1280x1024 resolution:

  • Content overflows horizontally requiring scrolling
  • Text gets cropped and becomes unreadable
  • Input fields and buttons don't stack properly
  • Fixed-width layouts break accessibility guidelines

Solution

Added a comprehensive responsive design system for extreme zoom levels:

New Breakpoint System

  • Added xSmallBreakPoint for screens ≤320px (400% zoom effective width)
  • Extended BreakpointValues enum with proper range definitions
  • Updated existing breakpoints to handle 321px-479px range

Home Page Improvements

/* Before: Fixed width causes overflow */
#wrapper { width: 1000px; }

/* After: Fluid width prevents overflow */
#wrapper { width: min(1000px, 90vw); max-width: 100%; }
  • Flexible Layouts: Converted grid layouts to vertical stacking at ≤320px
  • Responsive Inputs: Changed input width from fixed 28em to min(28em, 100%)
  • Typography Scaling: Reduced font sizes for better readability
  • Centered Design: All content centered for improved accessibility
  • Optimized Spacing: Reduced padding and margins for space efficiency

Global CSS Enhancements

  • Added overflow-x: hidden to prevent horizontal scrolling
  • Enabled proper text wrapping with word-wrap: break-word
  • Implemented responsive font scaling for extreme zoom levels

Component Updates

  • Updated app-footer component with consistent small-screen styling
  • Ensured all interactive elements remain accessible

WCAG Compliance

1.4.10 Reflow: Content reflows without horizontal scrolling at 400% zoom
1.4.4 Resize Text: Text remains readable when zoomed to 400%
2.1.1 Keyboard: All interactive elements remain accessible

Testing

Verified with:

  • Browser zoom set to 400%
  • Screen resolution 1280x1024
  • No horizontal scrolling required
  • All content remains readable and functional

Files Changed

  • src/script/utils/css/breakpoints.ts - New breakpoint system
  • src/script/pages/app-home.styles.ts - Main responsive improvements
  • styles/global.css - Global accessibility enhancements
  • src/script/components/app-footer.ts - Footer responsive updates

Fixes #4977.

@copilot Thanks. Trying out the code, I see that there's still an issue with the header. Specifically, if the window size is 1280x1024 and zoomed to 400%, the logo overlaps the menu:

Can we decrease the size of the logo at this extra small resolution?

Fixed the header logo overlap issue by reducing the logo size from 100px to 60px at ≤320px viewport width (400% zoom level) and adjusting header padding and navigation spacing. The logo and menu should now display properly without overlapping. Commit: 3bc3e58
