if your using IE, from the tool bar, go to view/text size and choose whatever to change it, I think medium is normal

every now and then mine goes to smallest

Do you have a scroll wheel, by any chance? Sometimes if you push on that, it increases text size. Nothing to worry about. Laughing out loud

It's not a bug, it's a feature...

Yes, that. It's not a bug, a feature - literally. Laughing out loud It's supposed to be a shortcut.

Yeah, I had that happen a little while back. The scroll wheel instead of scrolling would make the text bigger or smaller. After I rebooted, it was fine.
