Also affected, mostly scaling factor goes up to 3, try to change with
gnome-tweak-tool or unity-tweak-tool without any afford.

Ubuntu 14.04, beside Google Chrome no extra PPAs
MSI Adora22 (Intel Core i3 4100M, Intel HD-Grafik 4600)

Here you can find a workaround:

But this is no solution at all, there must be a bug somewhere.

Title:
  Text scaling factor changing unexpectedly

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
