Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

The summary may sound strange but hear me out

It has become common practice in GNOME to disable the possibility of
some operations if they are deemed "unnecessary". This takes power away
from the user for no good reason. If the intention is to signal that the
operation would be unnecessary there must be better ways.

Now for this particular instance the problem is as follows. I planned to
experiment with the font-size of a page. When seeing that the "Normal
Size" option was unavailable I naturally assumed that the operation was
not possible for some reason. Out of fear of not being able to restore
the software to "Normal Size" I refrained from experimenting with the
font-size.

Instead I propose that the command is left available and that the
current state of the font size is signaled in some other way.
