NumberBoxes are too small in Display Configuration for Scale and Brightness

SUMMARY

NumberBoxes are too small in Display Configuration for Scale and Brightness when you set your scale to 50% and font size to 23pt.

Look at attached screenshot.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Plug in a 1080p 27" Monitor
2.  Set Scale to 50%
3.  Set Font Size to 23pt
4. Look at NumberBoxes. The "50%" text isn't fitting in it.

This is the same issue as bug 508595. When applying 16 point size or greater, the System Settings page has a warning at this stage "Very large fonts may produce odd looking results. Instead of using a very large font size, consider adjusting the global screen scale". This is, unfortunately, a limitation of the window manager code.
