[Bug 1337942] Re: unity doesn't remember scaling factor (text, menu, titlebar)

 

I've attached another screenshot which shows how the settings get
forgotten and we revert back to unreadable displays.

Title:
  unity doesn't remember scaling factor (text, menu, titlebar)

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Please find attached a screenshot of the "ideal" scaling factor
  requiity red for my HiDPI laptop screen to be useable.

  In the Displays, setting I've set menu and titlebars to be scaled by 1.75 to get large enough buttons.
  In the Ubuntu-Tweak-Tool, I've set the text scaling factor to 1.2 to make application menu fonts readable.

  Unity seems to forget these and uses some random values after a
  restart.
