Zooming with pasted text causes different layouts for viewers #1897

One of the promises for BigBlueButton is that you never have to ask the remote 
student "Can you see what I'm looking at?" in the presentation.

When an instructor uploads slides, we keep them in sync for zoom and 
annotations.

However, if the instructor has pasted in a large body of text, this pasted text 
will get drawn at each user's screen size and hence at different font 
resolutions.  With pasted text, when the instructor zooms in on the text, each 
BigBlueButton client will recalculate font size to best fit their screen, which 
may cause the text to word wrap differently.

This is usually not an issue unless the instructor is also using the pen tool 
to annotate the pasted text.  In this case, their annotations (such as 
underlying a word) may not align with other users.  This is more visible in 
playback of a recording which had annotations of pasted text after a zoom event.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
