Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/2083

Steps To Reproduce

Problem on Android. May be related to "PS-191 Improve support for larger fonts Android #2053" but is still present in 2022.8.0(4911).

I changed my resolution in my phone (Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra) settings from WQHD+ down to HD+, and the font in the Bitwarden is tiny. If I change the resolution back, it goes back to normal. If I scale the font in system settings, it doesn't seem to be scaling the same way as it does for other apps.

Deleting bitwarden data and signing my account back in seems to correct it. If, at this point, I change the display resolution back up to WQHD+, the bitwarden font is huge, and the same scaling issue exists.

Expected Result

Bitwarden app font should scale with resolution and/or font change in the same way other apps do.

Actual Result

Font scaling in bitwarden app seems to be affected by changing the display resoltion from whatever it was when the app was first installed/signed in in a way that causes font size to be much larger or smaller than expected, after the resolution has been changed.

Hi @jhankins2 and @super-sonicX the changes made with https://github.com/bitwarden/mobile/pull/2053 have not been released yet. These are planned for the 2022.10 release.

You could also signup/try out beta release for our mobile clients. Instructions can be found here

I'm going to close this now, but feel free to comment/re-open if this continues to be an issue using the 2022.10 release.

I'm having a similar bug on a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Bitwarden changes the dpi randomly, sometimes the font is really tiny, other times it's really big.

I'm currently investigating the steps to reproduce the bug.

Hi bitwarden team, @djsmith85,

edit: corrected information, S23 = QHD+

this is happenning to me on a S23 ultra and bitwarden 2023.10.0 (8257) when changing to QHD+. The high res setting differs a bit from the S22 ultra, where it was working fine. QHD+ is now 3088×1440. Results in large font and tiny icons.

Should this be reopened? Any info details needed? I will be happy to help.

Thanks and kudos for this great app!

Cleaning the cache seems to restore the correct scale.
