        Ihave used a size hack for a bit now on my tablet. However, the seems to be an issue when you are trying to use the browser. For some reason where you tap on the screen is not where the system recognises. For this reason it becomes very hard to use the browser. All other apps seem ok, it is just the browser.

          that sounds very odd. I had used that hack for a long time in the past (not currently) I do not recall this problem.

          Do you know whether this was always the case for you? Can you reliably correct&reproduce the problem when you remove the GRID_UNIT_PX hack&put it back? vivid or xenial? regular browser or "next"? are webapps affected (maybe try a few different ones, they're not all same technically)?

            I have not noticed it on any other apps, just the browser.

                  Replying to this old topic to say this is still an issue. As for the trick using the terminal, it is no longer necessary, the grid unit size can be changed with UT Tweak Tool, available in the OpenStore.

                    Thanks.

                    Increasing the font size with the UT tweak tool, even increasing just 3 or 4 units makes the checkboxes in many settings screens go partially offscreen so not clickable anymore.

                          @jeff_kotowski It's not really a simple thing to do, and would basically rewriting all of the UI for the system and every app, to be able to support such a thing.
