Bug ID: 91556
Summary: FEATURE REQUEST: reset scale factor with quick and

impossible to switch back scale factor from 400%
Using 64-bit Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.1 with 4.0.4-040004-generic kernel
LibreOffice version: 5.0.0.0.beta1
Build ID: 0a16c3dda4150008d9be6f24cbd15ac198d116d3

When accidentally change scale factor too high, there is no way to switch it
quickly back to normal.
I would propose to make an opportunity to quickly reset the UI scale factor.
Visible button and possibly also shortcut key.
Currently the only quick workaround seems to be delete user profile
(https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#User_profile_location) when
LibreOffice is closed. This is not good as also other settings will be lost.
In addition I would propose to add dynamically feedback in realtime of scale
factor. This gives also understanding, which factor would be suitable. But
certainly we cannot avoid also bad behaviour when somebody changes scale factor
too high intentionally. E.g. in school it would impossible to continue the work
and what teacher can do? Searching and deleting user profile would not be an
easy task even for teachers who teach informatics but never needed to delete
LibreOffice profile.
There could be written a script to do that but this would be a dirty hack but
not solution. Yes - we can configure profile as we wanted, make backup and
write script, which will restore the previously configured profile. Such
workaround requires also frequent backupped user profile renewing as renewing
LibreOffice might bring changes also to user profile.
So the best way would be the UI scale factor reset switch.
