I don't see that in IE, now. I don't know why I saw it before. Or why
I think I did. :)

But yes, apparently of the two tabs I stuck them in in Firefox, I *had*
changed text size in one of them, earlier, and had forgot about that. I
just reopened FF and don't see that with two fresh tabs.

I'm sorry.

Do you need to punish me now? ;)
