Since upgrading to 7.2.0 I have a peculiar problem. The font in the terminal window has become so large that I can't read the text anymore:

Things I've tried:

• Another browser. Same thing.

• Another OS. Windows, Linux: makes no difference.

• Setting the font size for the terminal to small in Unraid. No change.

• Making the window bigger shows no more text. I just get more black screen.

• It happens in terminal windows for logs, docker containers and unraid itself.

• "Ctrl -" This makes the text in the terminal window smaller, but also makes the who GUI for Unraid smaller. I just want the terminal to be normal again.

• It doesn't happen when I SSH into Unraid from another computer with a local terminal.

Anyone have any ideas?

Haven't seen other reports of the same; try booting with a new flash drive using a stock 7.2.0 config, no key needed, then just test opening the terminal window and see if it's the same. It should help confirm if it's a config issue with the current install or an external problem.

With the terminal window open and with it being the active one, hold down on the <CTRL> key and roll the scroll wheel on your mouse. That changes the font size on my Firefox browser. (PLus, Firefox remembers the last zoom setting for each URL...)

Another observation:

Noted that you are looking at a terminal from a Docker container. How does the normal GUI Terminal (The one that you open from the toolbar of the GUI) behave?

I just tried it again in Windows and it doesn't happen there anymore. It still happens in Linux though. So I'm assuming this isn't a fault with Unraid but with my Linux OS? I've only been using Linux for a few weeks, so maybe it's something super obvious I've missed?

Same behaviour. The docker terminal, -logvier, unraid terminal and -logviewer all behave the same.

I am using LibreWolf (fork of Firefox) and have the same problem. Is there any fix for it?

This is possible hack to address the problem. Try using the key combination of CRTL_plus_Minus Key to size the font size back to a more acceptable size. (This is a true hack as it would also impact the Browser tab from which you opened the GUI Terminal!)

This is not really viable, as you said it alters with the size of the Unraid-WebInterface unfortunately.

But it is interesting. I use the same browser in Windows and there it works fine. Seems to have something to do with linux / fedora + firefox.

So you just trying to increase the text size of the terminal interface in the web TTY line...

As it looks like you're already scaled with control Plus already.

As it seems more like a scaling issue and a website zoom issue...

Ctrl+0

No because, if you scale the terminal it scales unraids webinterface too.

If you scale down the terminal, the webinterface gets unreadable small.

If you do Strg + 0 it gets large again and cut off.
