Safari Zoom in/ zoom out (A) on toolbar not working

The text zoom/unzoom function on the toolbar has quit working. If I click on either zoom or unzoom the same thing occurs. It zooms or unzooms for about a second or so then returns to the original state. I have used this function forever and am not sure when it quit working.

This happens in Safari and also Safari Technology Preview. This does not happen with Firefox.


Thanks for any reply.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. Before going to support I tried resetting the SMC, which only made it worse. I then decided to check all the preferences in Safari. Under the heading "Websites/Page Zoom" a number of web sites were set to different zoom %, and the General setting "Share across devices" was checked. Unchecking share across devices fixed the issue. I have a MacMini on my home network as well as an iPad and iPhone. I don't know what exactly how this works but my issue is fixed.

Thanks again.
