Description
from a11y audit #5120
These are the areas that were found not to handle text spacing increases appropriately.
| Theme | Screen Width | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| OLH | Wide | press journals | Journal blubs overlap rather than reflow. |
| OLH | Wide | editorial team | Profile blurb overflows bottom profile box border |
| Material | Wide | journal nav | Positioning of links moves up and behind the logo, making parts of the nav unreachable. |
| Material | Wide | journal header | Nav and Logo overlap |
| Material | Wide | special collections | Collection blub is truncated rather than space expanding. |
| Material | Wide | editorial team | Profile blurb overflows profile box |
| Material | Narrow | homepage | Article boxl title text does not reflow - requiring horizontal scrolling |
| Material | Narrow | carousel | Carousel text area does not expand, truncating text. |
| Material | Narrow | special collections | The blurb for each collection is truncated rather than the space expanding. |
| Material | Narrow | editorial team | Profile blurb overflows profile box |
| Clean | Wide | press journals | Filter placeholder text is truncated |
| Clean | Wide | press nav | Nav bar is full width at standard spacing, and does not reflow. |
| Clean | Narrow | press journals | Filter placeholder text is truncated |
| Clean | Narrow | carousel | The back/forward slide buttons end up behind the reflowed article link. This can happen anyway, but more likely with increased text spacing. |

Inspect the OLH, Material, and Clean theme implementations for each listed target, then verify that increased text spacing reflows without overlap, truncation, overflow, horizontal scrolling, or unreachable controls.
