I also have this problem.

It seems to persist the multiplication on every logout so the
increase/decrease continues to be reapplied making it exponentially
bigger/smaller each time  - it's not random.

For people suffering with this issue, set the slider to the value you
like, then log out and in, until it is the desired size. Then set it
back to 1 and it will stay at that size.

I'm on a Dell XPS 13.

Title:
  Text scaling factor changing unexpectedly

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
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.
