I've just tested Ubuntu 24.04, 24.10 and 25.04. The setting seems to be working on all of them so I wonder what's different about your machine...
Please run: gnome-extensions list --enabled > extensions.txt dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/interface/ > settings-interface.txt dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/ > settings-shell.txt and attach the resulting text files here. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2093834 Title: "Large text" setting does not apply when changed Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 24.10 Wayland (however the bug still occurs on X11) Nvidia RTX 3050M (Proprietary drivers) Intel Iris Xe Gnome control center (Settings) version 47.0.1 Expected behavior: If you enable or disable the Large text setting the text should change size and gnome control center should display that the settings is disabled/enabled depending on the user setting.
