Issue

From w3c-wai-ig 2020-09-18:

Please consider the following.
"It's nearly impossible to read text if I have to scroll right and left to read each line. It's disorienting and I lose my place. It makes it hard to understand what I'm reading."
ADD
"I have to scroll 50 to 100 times to read one page."

The gross amount of scrolling is overwhelming. This was the one SC that got 100% support from the LVTF.

Best, Wayne

Parent with low vision – 20/400:

Problem: It's nearly impossible to read text if I have to scroll right and left to read each line. It's disorienting and I lose my place. It makes it hard to understand what I'm reading.

Works well: I increase the text size 400% and it reflowed within the width of the window. I can read it easily without scrolling back and forth.
