Public bug reported: Trying to change the video resolution (I tried on a Macbook Pro Retina 15") to something like 1900:1200 or 1920:1080 blackens the screen and does not revert to the previous settings.
Worse, the graphics card heats up rapidly and brings the area close to the screen to a scorging hot temperature.
