This is only partially fixed in u-c-c 14.04.3+14.04.20140328-0ubuntu1. The keyboard can now move the slider, but the UI scale does not change when you do this. The UI scale does change when you use the mouse to move the slider.
To reproduce, follow the instructions in the original description Expected results: UI slider moves and the UI scales up/down with the slider Actual results: UI slider moves and the UI does not scale up/down with the slider -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1296966 Title: Displays: Can't modify UI scale slide with keyboard Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: It should be possible to modify the UI Scale slider using the keyboard. To reproduce: 1) Launch the Displays control panel 2) Click the thumb/handle in the UI scale slider once, to select it. Notice that the handle gets an orange border, to indicate that it's selected 3) Press the left/right arrow keys to modify the UI scale Expected results: The UI scale slider responds to the arrow keys Actual results: Nothing happens when you use the keyboard to manipulate the UI scale slider This is an accessibility issue. It's also a problem if you set the UI scale so big that the UI scale widget is no longer drawn onscreen - you can't use keyboard navigation to reset it.
