In the Microsoft Office certification software that my school uses, in the skill review mode, when I try to highlight something by double clicking the text, it makes the text larger. (autumn.revolt.chat)

It also happens on single click (possibly to make changing the text size easy), and you can also highlight by dragging and it'll work, but I still like to double click to highlight.

Seems like it was designed for touch screens with no regard for people using a mouse.

more like "we forgot to add text size options and we need to release it in 2 days" and the interim dev just slapped together a solution.
