Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is a cosmetic or usability issue that doesn't limit the functionality of a non-core package.

[Renato Araujo Oliveira Filho (renatofilho)]

I have the same problem with google accounts.

[Adnane Belmadiaf (daker)]

This is a bug in QTWebkit not appling the specified viewport(bug 1303050), the signon-ui needs to switch to Oxide.

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

Thanks Adnane, I suspected that it was a WebKit bug, but I wasn't sure. We are switching to using Oxide. :-)

[David Barth (dbarth)]

Is there a known workaround for QtWebkit 5.2 ? Otherwise, we need to accelerate the oxide switch for an SRU.

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

I don't think we need an SRU; AFAIK, this bug happens on the phone only (on the desktop, we are using WebKit 1).

[David Barth (dbarth)]

This is an old bug due to QtWebkit. OA has now switch to using Oxide and the issue is gone.
