That's exactly what I meant. Yesterday I posted a question about exactly such a case where a "sticky" date picker was truncated vertically at 400% zoom in a 1280px wide window, but you would not see this at 100% zoom in a 320px wide window because the height is 4 times greater.

I believe the point here is that you won't experience it the same way as the intended "users on a desktop with high magnification/zoom" target audience, as your height will be likely markedly higher than the equivalent height (and that can then lead to differences in things overlapping or not, extra scrollbars appearing or not, things that bleed off the bottom of the screen without any way to scroll to them not exhibiting that behaviour when there's more height available, etc)
