[Bug 1382614] [NEW] Resizing for high resolution displays does not make sense

 

Public bug reported:

The scaling functions in Unity for adapting to High Resolution Displays
(high ppi, like Apple Retina) show strange behavior. I made screencasts
to document these.

Problems:
1. Higher number does not result in higher fonts
2. Numbers are extremely disproportional to resulting sizes


System is current 13 inch Macbook Pro Retina, 2560x1600 pixels, Intel
Iris video (no proprietary driver).

** Affects: unity-control-center
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Attachment added: "capture demonstration 1"
