Public bug reported: I run Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro with Retina display.
Up to 16.10 I ran Unity with a scaling factor of 1 and a text-scaling of 1,62. This led to acceptable display results. After upgrade to 17.04 desktop scaling is by default 2 and cannot be readjusted. Thus all icons, windows and text appear gigantic. This might be acceptable for some applications. However, Libreoffice provides recent file preview which now take 1/6 of the screen size (used to be iconic) and the toolbar icons have to be set to small in order to make them take only a portion of the screen. Is there a way I can revert to the previous way to adjust display settings?
