Mobile - checkbox size doesn't scale with font size

[ariehen]

Steps to reproduce

• Create a new vault on iOS.
• Add this:

- [ ] Hello Blue
- [ ] Hello Red
    - [ ] _Red turns to look at the dark sky_
- [ ] We meet again, says Blue

• Change Settings > Appearance → Font size to 30.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N] Yes.

Expected result

Checkboxes scale with the font size as they do on desktop Obsidian.

Actual result

They don’t scale and are set to 17px.

Additional information

• An old topic here that was auto-closed: [Bug] Checkboxes do not scale with the font size

• The checkbox size comes from here and should scale with the font size as defined in the variables section of the app.css:

  --checkbox-size: var(--font-text-size);

  

• The mobile emulator shows the same with a font-size of 17px as set in the app.css.

  

  

• This CSS works to adjust the checkbox size:

  .is-mobile {
      --checkbox-size: 25px;
  }

EDIT: I understand that the decision to set .is-mobile { --checkbox-size: 17px; } may have been deliberate. However, this was brought up as a usability issue on Discord, so I thought it would be worth mentioning.
