This worked in RHEL 7.0 .. there was a scrollable list produced at the login screen.

Comment 3 Ole Holm Nielsen 2015-04-09 14:06:03 UTC

We have 100+ users defined in /etc/passwd, and a list of names is presented on the initial login screen.  However, it's impossible to scroll up or down in this user list to select the desired user.  The middle mouse button seems to be disabled, so scrolling has become impossible!  One can use the left and right mouse buttons to select one of the users in view, but no one else. 

This seems definitely to be a critical bug in 7.1. In 7.0 there was no problem.

Comment 8 Florian Müllner 2015-07-10 17:54:18 UTC

I pushed an updated gnome-shell-3.14.4-16.el7 build that should address this issue.
