Having smaller font for replies in discussion threads decreases readability. This is a poor redesign and makes using a smaller screen very difficult if not impossible. This is as an accessibility issue and should offer an option to be turned off.
Hi @dsemb - Because you have raised this concern after the official launch on July 20, I will move the idea submitted in April into the New status in Ideas and Themes.

Hi @dsemb ...
I'm not seeing smaller font in a discussion reply that I just tried out in my own sandbox course. See the yellow circled area. Seem to be the same font size to me.
As teacher, my posts appear too small. Much smaller than students' posts which presumably are in the default 12pt. If I go to Student Mode and post as "Test Student", the posts are properly sized, and the posts from "Teacher" are too small. So this problem appears to depend on role?
I have a disability that prevents me from using large screens and can only use Canvas on my phone. The Discussion replies are SO SMALL that I cannot read them. This is absolutely an accessibility issue and one that I hope is resolved ASAP!
Is there any update on this issue? Is currently impacting one of my students.
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
