[Bug]: fontsize not enabled in Debian 13.4 (stock kernel; but stable down-rev kernel?) #3295

Description

Current Behavior

Summary
I’d like to be able to adjust the font size of the Wave AI side panel for better
readability/accessibility.

What I tried
I attempted to change the AI panel font size using wsh:

  • wsh setconfig ai:fontsize=16
  • wsh setconfig ai:fixedfontsize=14

Did not update the fonts.

Ergo, I fully quit Wave and relaunched it. The AI side-panel font size did not change, so
these keys appear to have no effect in the current version, running on Debian 13.4.
Note: Client Version 0.14.5 (202604161535)
Update Channel: latest

wsh --help shows setconfig, but there is no getconfig, and I haven’t found any
documented config keys for AI font sizing in the repo/docs.

Request

  • Either document existing config keys (if any) that control the AI side-panel font size, or
  • Add support for configuring the AI panel font size (for example via wsh setconfig
    or a UI setting), so users can increase/decrease it without relying on global OS
    scaling.

Notes

  • This is not a Debian/kernel issue as far as I can tell (though it may be a down-rev kernel issue); Wave runs fine otherwise.
    This is purely a UX/accessibility enhancement request for the Debian 13.4 version (possibly other downstream Debian builds).
  • This is not urgent (albeit it is annoying); I’m mainly flagging it so it can be considered/prioritized alongside
    other UI improvements.

Expected Behavior

That

  • wsh setconfig ai:fontsize=16
  • wsh setconfig ai:fixedfontsize=14
    will properly change the respective font sizes, as directed.

Steps To Reproduce

Debian 13.4.
Note: Client Version 0.14.5 (202604161535)
Update Channel: latest
Run:

  • wsh setconfig ai:fontsize=16
  • wsh setconfig ai:fixedfontsize=14

Does not change font size; simply fails.
Returns no explicitly noted error.
