After the recent ChatGPT update, I noticed a bug with the text size setting on macOS.
If I make the text larger in one chat, it works temporarily. However, when I switch to another chat, the text size becomes normal again.
Also, after switching chats, clicking “Make text bigger” does not work immediately. I have to first click “Make text normal size”, and only after that can I make the text bigger again.
So the issue is:
-
Larger text size is not preserved when switching chats.
-
“Make text bigger” stops working after switching chats unless I reset the text size to normal first.
I’m using ChatGPT on macOS desktop. Please help check this issue. Thanks.
Hey @AngleFeint! That does sound annoying. Could you confirm whether you’re seeing this in the desktop app or on web? If it’s web, it’d help to know if it’s only happening in one browser or across all of them. Screenshots of the before/after text size would be useful too.
As a quick temporary workaround, Cmd + Plus/Minus should let you adjust the zoom.

Hi Sunny, thanks for the reply. I’m seeing this in the ChatGPT macOS desktop app, not on the web version.
I’m referring specifically to the app’s “Make Text Bigger” and “Make Text Normal Size” options, not page zoom.
The issue happens after I switch to another chat: the text appears normal again, and “Make Text Bigger” does not work until I first choose “Make Text Normal Size.”
Hey @AngleFeint, appreciate you confirming that it’s happening in the macOS desktop app and that it’s specifically the Make Text Bigger / Make Text Normal Size option, not zoom.
A few other users have reported similar behavior too, so I’ll make sure this gets passed along to the engineering team with the added details you shared.

Thanks Sunny, appreciate you passing this along to the engineering team.
Hello, I am wondering if this problem is solved eventually? I am still suffered from this font size issue in my ChatGPT desktop version (MacOSX)
