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.
