Comment 17 for bug 603415

Sebastian, again, that's a different issue. Yes, Unity should have a magnifier, but until it does, it is a proper Bug (rather than a Wish) that a magnification feature is offered by the Accessibility manager but doesn't actually do anything. Users who depend on that feature will be very confused by the fact that a non-functional UI exists to enable magnification. The bug, then, is that the magnification UI in system settings should be removed or fixed.
