Public bug reported:
I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, with a 13.3" screen running at 3200x1800
pixels... I bought this partly to test out the UI scaling in Unity!...
and I have to say it's very awesome (both the screen and the UI
scaling)... however I have encountered a strange problem.
Seemingly at random, I have so far 3 times in 10 days had the font size
(not UI size) suddenly jump to something much too large.
UI scaling for the display is set at 1.38x and this is quite perfect for
me, it sure means no one will be able to read my screen over my
shoulder, but I that's fine! I had to install a Firefox plugin to apply
scaling there, but I realise why that is.
Anyway... I installed ubuntu-tweak and discovered that the large fonts
were due to the "Text Scaling Factor" having jumped up to a number above
2.5... I also discovered that I could not move the slider because every
time I moved it the fonts re-scaled the slider moved and lost mouse
focus... and the slider reset to where it was to begin with... I clicked
the button on the right to return to 1.0, and it returned to 1.4, which
I assume is representative of the 1.38 I set in the screen scaling...
but I have no explanation for why it suddenly jumped (when I logged out
and back in) from 1.4 to something like 2.5.)..
