Bug#750011: gnome-tweak-tool: Windows Scaling Not Undoable

[Raphael]

I accidently changed the setting too and was unable, in the first place, to revert my change.... However I found a workaround: 

In the tweak-tool window, click the magnifier icon (search option), then input ’scaling’ in the text field. That will display only options for which the name matches the word ‘scaling’. Now click the entry Windows from the menu... then the option Window Scaling will be located up the content pane and I could edit it back to 1.

 

I search for that option in dconf-editor but didn’t see it.... does someone know whether this option is accessible from dconf?

 

Cheers

Raphael
