Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 3.3.4025-dev, 5ab69587
- OS: macOS
- OS Version: 13.2
- CPU Architecture: M1
Bug Description:
When we change the view font size (ui.font.view.size), the font size of the disassembly text changes properly. But the size of the tags are not changed accordingly. The tag size will be fine after we restart Binary Ninja.
Steps To Reproduce:
Please provide all steps required to reproduce the behavior:
- Open a binary
- Add a tag/bookmark
- Open settings
- Change ui.font.view.size
- Observe the size of the tag remain unchanged
Expected Behavior:
The size of the tag changes accordingly, immediately after the font size change.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Binary Ninja on macOS: open a binary, add a tag or bookmark, then change ui.font.view.size in Settings. Inspect the view-font update path and tag rendering behavior. Done means tag text resizes immediately without restarting Binary Ninja, while disassembly text continues to update correctly.
