It's possible to set scaling factor too high for current resolution #306

Open bsftshantanu opened 3 years ago

bsftshantanu commented 3 years ago

Problem

I managed to switch the Scaling Factor to Pixel Doubled on a laptop with limited resolution; 1366x768 and I couldn't switch back as the bottom part of the window was off screen.

I ended up struggling with pressing TAB and guessing what I was choosing to bring things back to normal.

Proposal

Could you provide keyboard shortcuts for the Scaling Factor drop down, or move the drop down to the top of the window. OR be able to resize the window to a much much smaller size somehow to be able to access the dropdown.

Prior Art

N/A

@bsftshantanu I've updated the title as the underlying issue is that it's possible to select a bad scaling factor in the first place; we should disable the options that result in a lower-than-supported effective resolution.

I thought we used to do this, so not sure why it's not working now.

@cassidyjames we tried a few things back in https://github.com/elementary/switchboard-plug-display/pull/262 but unfortunately were not successful...
