Trader+ on fidelity.com accessibility failure

Is this the preferred channel for trader+ bug reports?

Trader+ marketing suggests it is intended to be the consistent platorm similar across the three supported platforms -- Win11, iOS, web browser -- but experienced customers probably realize that the innate capabilities of the platforms and their UI machinery will bias what each does best and upon what developers focus, and which get the most developer attention for marketing prestiege. The two apps run client side while the web server runs server side where all the large datasets and archived customer reports, statements, and history live, making the web the easiest place to facilitate looking for them.

The specific Trader+ accessibility bug: On fidelity.com, the Trader+ watchlist display overrides the Chrome/Firefox keyboard accelerators that nudge font size (Ctrl+ & Ctrl-) even though these work elsewhere such as in the option chain display (despite the table UI machinery appearing to be the same).

Access prior year statement & 1099s for viewing-authorized account?

It's easy to do this on fidelity.com for owned accouns, but I can't find any path thru the menus that accesses anything earlier than current tax year (2025) for view-authorized accounts.

I could do this, of course, by asking the account owner. I'm asking support here because doing it myself raises less confusion.
