RE: Resize Text (1.4.4)

It worked. The bug was in the higher version of Opera (9.6.4). Thanks Opera for giving me the link to version 9. 
 
Thanks.
 
Now I know I passed. It was also good timing because when I visited the Opera site today, it mentioned a beta version of 10. This could have caused a failure.

Do you really mean that at a zoom level higher than 150% there are 
overlaps or other problems that obscure text and/or make 
functionality unusable? (Note that the guidelines do not require 
uniform zooming.)

With regard to Firefox: it does not allow you to see the zoom level 
(unlike SeaMonkey) but there are a few add-ons that support this, for 
example the Firefox Accessibility Extension: <http://firefox.cita.uiuc.edu/>.

Best regards,

Christophe
