mkovac (mkovac) wrote : unity randomly turns on large text in universal access

I have a macbook pro with retina display. In Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, every couple of reboots, the 'large text' option in Universal Access gets switched on upon login. It happens in roughly 1 out of 5 reboots for 1 or more users on the computer.

It appears to happen to people with small HighDPI screens. In my case, it's 13 inch at 2560x1600.
Another example is 13 inch at 1080p - http://askubuntu.com/questions/453785/large-text-button-in-universal-access-turns-itself-on-after-reboot-ubuntu-14-0
