When the base is changed to 14px the media query will update to 45.714...em. \r\n\r\nems are relative to the font size defined in the browser settings when used in media queries and not the HTML element which means the medium breakpoint comes into effect at 732px instead of 640px.\r\n\r\nI believe the solution would be to calculate the queries in em without taking into account the setting used for global font size."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/zurb/foundation-sites/issues/comments/164502987","html_url":"https://github.com/zurb/foundation-sites/issues/7500#issuecomment-164502987","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/zurb/foundation-sites/issues/7500","id":164502987,"user":{"login":"gakimball","id":1142001,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1142001?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball","html_url":"https://github.com/gakimball","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/gakimball/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-14T17:30:06Z","updated_at":"2015-12-14T17:30:06Z","body":"Going to close this in favor in #7021, which has a more detailed discussion of the issue."}}
