Font continually increasing in the dialog box after waiting to change display

[Pierre-Olivier Megret]

the Bug occurs when I tried to modify my display configuration :

I have a HP2510 laptop and an additionnal 19' ASUS screen ( VGA ) ANd I tried to test display options

usually I only use my 19 screen and I leave the laptop one off ( other bug I will report : I have upper panel but nothing else appears on laptop screen if I try to use the two screens )

- I opened display settings in gnome-control-center
- I tried to put my laptop screen ON
- System opened a window which ask if we want to keep new settings ....

The font in this window increases continually during waiting . Strange effect ;)

I think bug is reproductible for all changes in display settings. ( tested home with a simple change of display resolution )

Thanks for catching this. Nice effect indeed, but undesirable I guess. Setting to triage.

Reproduced here as well.
