ChatGPT text size resets when switching chats after recent update on macOS

After the recent ChatGPT update, I noticed a bug with the text size setting on macOS.
If I make the text larger in one chat, it works temporarily. However, when I switch to another chat, the text size becomes normal again.
Also, after switching chats, clicking “Make text bigger” does not work immediately. I have to first click “Make text normal size”, and only after that can I make the text bigger again.
So the issue is:
1. Larger text size is not preserved when switching chats.
2. “Make text bigger” stops working after switching chats unless I reset the text size to normal first.
I’m using ChatGPT on macOS desktop. Please help check this issue. Thanks.
