Something that is annoying me for some time now: On the N810 the browser had an option called Fit width to view. I could zoom in and out like I wanted and the text an a website was always reflowed to fit the screen.

Is there any such option for the N900 browser? When I zoom in the text is never reflowed, lines are cut off and I always have to scroll to the right and back.

Am I the only one having this problem? Or am I missing something?
Thanks for your hints.

Supposedly you can press Ctrl+Shift+I and activate text reflow, but it never worked for me.

It used to work, but I don't think it has since the introduction of portrait mode in the browser.

hmm. For me double tapping textarea/(div) gives exact zoom for that area. But I know what feature you are missing and IIRC there is some shortcut for it maybe ctrl-shift-i. Althought I think developing reflow so that it works correctly ( if itīs even possible ) for browser might be actually waste of time and could lead to support of lazy web developers. But thatīs another story

Thanks for your replies. Ctrl+shift+I doesn't seem to work. And I almost broke my fingers trying to press it
Any other ideas?

Its a tough one, i like how it is implemented on the iPhone, however there are drawbacks in that it changes the design and layout of the page. All in all as a consumer I will use what ever because either option has triadoffs. but for now I like the fact that my page renders the way it was designed, and i zoom in on it.

This feature always worked sporadically - unfortunately since 1.2 it hardly works at all.

Perhaps a status bar area applet could be developed that reflows text ?

Ctrl-Shift-i still works after PR 1.2, but not the same way as it used to. After loading a page (for some stupid reason, Nokia guys have not made this setting as an option in settings. Many pages need reflow to avoid horizontal scrolling) click the lower right corner arrow first to leave the full screen mode and then try Ctrl-SHift-i.
For some reason the key combination in full screen mode just opens the URL-field.

So, it reflows the text consistently now? Meaning, you don't have to horizontal pan to read lines?
