Title:
  Display setting can render desktop inoperable on low res screen

Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  In the Display settings; By changing the "scale for menu and title
  bars" to a high setting on a non-ultra HD screen, one can easilly
  render the whole desktop inoperable, without an easy way back. A user
  should not be able to do this so easilly without even a warning (it's
  enough to slide it, and your desktop becomes so large that nothing can
  be used anymore).

  Reproduction path:
  * On a "low resolution screen" (in my case full-HD).
  * Go to Display Settings in unity-control-center and slide the "Scale for menu and title bars" bar to the right.
  * Result: A desktop large enough for 5 icons to fit on the screen.

  There is no easy way back afterward.
