> I am pretty certain that changes to text spacing will also break contrast in a lot of places and may also cause overlapping text. I also understand the multiplier of possibilities. Text-clipping / overlapping is already called out in the understanding doc as a failure of text-spacing, can we consider contrast a part of that? The same goes for resize/reflow. The question I have then (as a tester) is whether that should be failed under contrast or the triggering condition? My gut says it should come under the SC that triggered it, as solving that problem will be a layout or text-buffer change. WCAG 2.0 did a good job of things failing in one place, we should try to maintain that. For most sites you can test that by: * zooming in gradually to 320px looking out for omissions or clipping * apply text-spacing * zooming back out to the default looking out for omissions or clipping. If it fails whilst zooming in, it’s a 1.4.4 / 1.410 issue (depending on what level), if it only fails on the zooming out it’s a 1.4.11 issue. Cheers, -Alastair
