The position of the "Apply" button already implies that it applies to every setting in the panel, including UI scale. If it didn't apply to UI scale, we would have to move the button and the scale controls so that they obviously didn't relate to each other. It's also generally a bad idea for changing a setting to alter the UI of the setting itself. For those two reasons, I agree with Iain that this setting should not be instant-apply. So that can be changed straight away. That leaves the problem of displaying a preview of the new setting, so I'll work on that next. ** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- 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/1299079 Title: allow UI scale revert Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Currently, the user can set the slider to a really big or small value which would result in parts of the configuration dialog being outside the screen making it difficult or impossible to change the setting back to something more reasonable. A way to avoid that problem would be to detect that condition and present a confirmation dialog to the user. In case the user tries to set such a ridiculusly huge scale value that not even the confirmation dialog would be visible or usable, then we should detect that as well and temporarily switch back to the original scale factor until the user confirms his choice.
