I'm marking this fixed. gnome-control-center 3.26 available in Ubuntu
17.10 (which will be released later this month) has a new layout which
shouldn't be affected by this bug.
If you still have problems after upgrading to this version, please file
a new detailed bug.

This issue is especially apparent when you use Unity's scaling features in
Ubuntu 14.04:

My eyes like everything bigger, but it doesn't play well with this
setting window. Additionally, you cannot resize this window or maximize
it.

Since 2012 I waited for this issue to be solved in Ubuntu (see my
comments). At last I have given up and therefore I swiched to Linux Mint
Cinnamon. No such problems with scaling at all.

Just installed trusty (14.04) and this upstream problem is still
present. Someone should send a message upstream that the system is for
the end user. This has been present for several releases and as a
programmer myself, I know this is a simple fix.

I look forward to testing 13.04. Hard to believe that a few windows

man-power shortage can cause problems.
I think a lot of it can be solved by doing a more assiduous QA inside
the heads of the programmers. They seem to be an

I'm marking this Fixed for Ubuntu 13.04. I opened Universal Access and
set Large Text to On.
The overview and the rest of System Settings now seems to reflow and
display correctly. Please open a new bug if a specific part isn't
displaying right with Large Text.

One tends to wonder if invalid is simply a way of getting rid of this
problem without a statement that it has been addressed. I am currently
running the 12.10 Beta2 in test mode, and will have to examine this to
see if it is fixed or ameliorated in any way. It most certainly wasn't
in 12.04 LTS.

On second thought, the duplicates are several separate issue:
1) bug 886812 is a genuine duplicate of larger font breaks GCC
2) bug 929585 is about different languages/fonts break GCC
3) bug 908650 is actually about resizing the window but is a bit

Considering that this kind of thing is a simply poor decision on the
part of a programmer/developer, I believe it should be fixed for 12.04

Most GUI systems I have used default to full control of the widget

Thanks, Seb. I do understand the point about software cycles.
I sometimes think that fixed software cycles are rules made to be
broken. I also understand the dearth of good developers.

John, the window is not user resizable, but it does use layout
containers. (It's really hard not to with Gtk). If you change the font

widgets? Can you point
