Bug Description
Currently, the user can set the slider to a really big or small value which would result in parts of the configuration dialog being outside the screen making it difficult or impossible to change the setting back to something more reasonable.
A way to avoid that problem would be to detect that condition and present a confirmation dialog to the user. In case the user tries to set such a ridiculusly huge scale value that not even the confirmation dialog would be visible or usable, then we should detect that as well and temporarily switch back to the original scale factor until the user confirms his choice.

The other option is to make this slider non-instant-apply and use the normal revert dialog that this panel already has to handle bad selections. It's already unclear which settings are instant apply and which are not here - this would help with that.
