Public bug reported:

My laptop is a Dell XPS 13 9333. It came with Ubuntu 12.04 installed. I
updated to 14.04 without problem. I removed the obsolete/local packages
inherited from the Dell repositories. Everything seems to work fine
(except for the bug reported here).

I have the menu and title bar scale in control center -> display set to
1.25. It works fine most of the time but some times, when I start a
session text size is much bigger than normal. Using gsettings I see
that:

xps:~$ gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Interface text-scale-factor
1.953125
xps:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor
2.44140625
xps:~$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor
uint32 1

It seems that text-scaling-factor = "menu and title bar scale" * text-
scale-factor.

I do not see a way to change com.canonical.Unity.Interface->text-scale-
factor from the interface.

Manually setting text-scale-factor to 1 solves the problem inmediatry
except from some text misalignment in the dash that is corrected aftere
a session restart:

xps:~$ gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Interface text-scale-factor 1
xps:~$ gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Interface text-scale-factor
1.0

I use it as a workaround.

I report the bug in unity-control-center becouse it is there where the
relevant desktop option can be acceced but the problem is most probably
related to unity session start.
