You probably meant text_rightfor your example?
I tried setting:
# Text to be overlayed in the lower right corner of images.
text_right "%D \n%N \n%Y-%m-%d %T-%q \n\n"
text_scale 2
And no matter which changed pixels number is shown the scale remains the
same.
Do you have a sample video recording that demonstrates the issue?
And please send the exact config file you were testing with
