Thank you all for the answers. Dave is right that I’m running the experimental nwjs version. Darren is right that Cmd-Plus and Cmd-Minus will zoom the browser on MacOS, and while I didnt’ do that, there is perhaps another native MacOS capability at work here. I used to get the same issue with pdAdmin III, where suddenly the font size in the result grid would incrementally increase to a very large size. It was some combination of the modifier keys (Cmd, Option, Control, …) and scrolling on the touchpad (I think maybe Cmd-Option + scrolling, but I’m not sure). It was NOT any browser-based zoom (I just verified that that does not work in the my pgAdmin4). And (to me this is the definitive statement), it was a continuous incremental increase in zoom, as though I was increasing the magnification on the screen.
However, I’m not able to reproduce it, so I’m not sure how it happened. I was hoping that someone with MacOS knowledge, like you Duncan, might know the magic combination so that if it happens again I won’t have to abandon my session.
Anyway, thanks for your input, guys.
Jack

Since the original message was about MacOS, I know as a Mac user that there are
a bunch of things that implicitly work in many places one might not expect them to.
For example, if a regular non-editable status or error message or dialog box
appears on the screen and there are no corresponding menu options, I can still
use my mouse to click-drag and highlight text in the displayed message and CMD-C
will copy it and I can paste it in another program. I did this just the other
day while documenting a program.
Similarly, perhaps certain zoom-related things are just built-in to certain
MacOS UI elements so if pgAdmin is implemented in terms of those then zooming
may work to an extent just because its built-in to the OS.
For that matter, in MacOS System Preferences, there are a number of universal
options available for assisting people with disabilities, including general UI
zooming things, and perhaps one of those was triggered somehow?That's certainly a possibility.
I'm just guessing here.:-)
