Screenshot of the Universal Access panel after enabling Large Text

With GNOME Control Centre 3.7.90, I opened the Universal Access panel and enabled Large Text. This setting worked, and all of the text in the panel increased in size but the layout of the panel itself did not change. This had a heap of painful side-effects: labels crashing into each other, the padding around labels becoming far less than it should be. After closing the panel and opening it again, everything is sized and positioned correctly for the large text size.

Oh my! Come to think of it, this appears to be happening across the desktop. I just hadn't noticed because the other applications I was running all had quite spacious layouts. Switching this to GTK+. If it isn't reproducible, it could be downstream. I'm seeing this with Ubuntu Raring and GTK 3.7.12 (+Ubuntu's patches and things).
