Please add me to this bug.  With each logon, Ubunt tweak keeps changing
my text scaling factor to a larger size.  When I open system settings,
and view Display, the scale menu option has NOT changed, but for some
reason Ubuntu tweak keeps taking over and changes the scaling factor,
making the fonts ugly large.  I am using Lenovo ThinkPad T430 64bit, 8gb
ram.

Title:
  Text scaling factor changing unexpectedly

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a MacBook pro with a Retina display. I have set the "Scale for
  menu and title bars"  setting (into Settings > Displays) to 1.5 to
  make the UI looks good on my screen. That works very well. But
  sometimes, usually after logging, all the fonts of the UI become much
  bigger.

  When that happen I open unity tweat tool and notice that the text
  scaling factor changed to 2.25. If I reset it to 1 the all the fonts
  go back to normal.

  The problem does not happen all the time. I would say it happen one
  time out of three logging. It may also happen when installing
  applications from the software center. I have yet to find a procedure
  to reproduce it all the times.
