Cannot control the font size of material design

Reported by sebastie...@gmail.com, Jun 13 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.84 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Try to change the font size of the address bar under material design with chrome 51

What is the expected behavior?
I would expect, as previously with non material design, that the font size of material design are either configurable or taken from the system font sizes

What went wrong?
The new material design that became the default on linux with chrome 51 does not allow you to configure the font size or take the font size from the system, so my address bar fonts are much smaller then without material design since my system fonts that dictate the font size without material design are set on purpose to be larger.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.84  Channel: stable
OS Version: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

As material design became the default on linux with chrome 51, it needs to have all fonts configurable either in the chrome settings or take from the system. It is not acceptable that at the very least font size be fixed.
 
Same thing is happening to me since today. Maybe it's fine for some people but I find it unusable.
Chromium Version 51.0.2704.79 Ubuntu 14.04 (64-bit)

For now I reverted to using non material design, however in chrome 51 there was also a bug on linux that prevented you from switching back to non material design using the chrome flags but adding "--top-chrome-md=non-material" to the command line arguments work for reverting back to the old non material design. 
I had already tried disabling material design with the flags and it made no difference, as you say. That command line thing is new to me though I think I'm giving up fighting. Already fought with the avatar menu and lost. Thanks anyway!
