On my ipad I have suddenly encountered the issue of when selecting “Show More” of my Favorites that the icons are made smaller and the labels are large and truncated with only a few letters showing. This happened suddenly and nothing I do fix’s the issue. I completely deleted Brave and reinstalled it, added several Favorites to the point where you need to select “Show More” to see them and it still does the same thing, shrunken icons and large truncated labels, such that you can’t identify what the favorite actually is.

How can this issue be reproduced?

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.79 (124)

Mobile Device details
iPad IOS 18.5 (22F76)

After every BB (iOS) install or update, and usually after BB Settings changes:

Clear caches, cookies, images, history. Then for BB (iPad processes are same or similar to iPhone):

Apple iOS - iPhone - completely quit an app:

Followed by:

Apple iOS - iPhone - complete, “forced”, “hard” restart:
-https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/force-restart-iphone-iph8903c3ee6/ios

This was already done and doesn’t fix the problem. Today I saw that someone else has created a case about this as well where it is happening on his new ipad which has the same version ios I am using and also on his iphone. Here is their link: Fonts too small and Icons too large in Favorites iOS 18.05
I have learned that on June 18 the current version of Brave for ios was made available so I am assuming the day my problem started was when it was downloaded to my ipad.

I hate to tell you this, but the browsers “UI” is not going to be cured by cookies, cache or any of that. That pool of data is for the webpages itself, not the UI. I know the UI may be composed of HTML/CSS or whatever they want to use these days, but there’s not going to be a cache of itself. That’s simply fictitious based on a complete and utter misunderstanding of how a browser actually works under the hood.

And as we see based on the original poster, it did not work. (Because of course it wouldn’t have.)

Not to mention, considering the amount of bug reports of the same issue, and all of them on iOS, kinda points to a Brave related issue that needs to be addressed by them. (This will entail users specifying everything, iOS version, device, any visual accessibility options that might be enabled, etc, it helps the Brave devs pin-point where the regression actually is/root cause).

Would it be possible for anyone seeing this to share a screenshot of what they’re seeing on their end?
