Hello Client Libs Dev Team, My eyesite has started to deteriorate significantly, so I have been using the built-in Accessibility tool called Windows (Screen) Magnifier (available since Windows XP at least). It zooms in and out of the screen by pressing the Windows Key and (+) or (-).
This works great because, as I type stuff, the magnifier will follow my text, so that I don't have to keep manually moving the magnifier whenever what I type inevitably ends up off-screen (off-view?). This feature works great for basically every other application I have, except my Swing apps. I make a lot of Swing apps, and I use a bunch too. And this Magnifier feature that follows text does not work for any of the ones I have tried. This feature does work on basically every other application I have. To name a few. * Notepad++ * WordPad * Firefox * Git Bash Here is a Bug Report referring to this problem. https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-5079680 The resolution was listed as "Future Project". Any chance that the future can be now? I know that Swing is largely in maintenance mode, but if this were to get added, practically ALL Swing apps would receive a significant boost in accessibility. I think that's worth making some significant changes for. Finally, here is a StackOverflow post I made discussing the same subject. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79281778 Thank you for your time. David Alayachew
