ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
perhaps button is needed to revert back to original settings. If a button exist it doesn't appear in the over sized screen. A popup to revert would be useful. they only way to fix is to remove the user account.

There is a popup to revert settings. It reverts the new settings if you wait 15 seconds. But you have to wait that long!

That's a little bit extreme. :) You can also delete ~/.local/share/kscreen.
