Webpages resize themselves!

[morongobill]

Hard to describe. I am trying to read a webpage(Chrome is the worse, Dolphin not as bad) using my finger to scroll down the page and all of a sudden the page blows up to giant size and then shrinks, and I have to resize it to continue reading.

I think my hand tremor might somehow be involved, any thoughts on how to stop this unwanted resizing?

Mine does it sometimes. I usually just wait for the page to completely finish loading and it stops.

I have a theory about what's going on here but it's nothing more than a guess. If the screen has a dead spot on it, the tablet may interpret your scrolling finger as a zoom gesture and enlarge the screen unexpectedly.

You can try a touch screen testing app to see if there are dead spots.

I haven't tried any myself which is why I just included the search results. Good luck!

While sitting outside, with unnoticed perspiration, it happens to me, too.

Also, humidity fluctuations can make it worse (go outside into 90F for an hour, then inside the A/C set to 68F causes it almost 100% of the time)

This observation is in addition to "wait for the page to load".
