Description of problem: If the list of window managers is long, it does not fit on the screen. gdm prints the list downside, starting with the first entry until the buttom of the screen is reached. You can think that the list "virtual" continues outside the screen, but you cannot reach any of these "outside" entries. This is new to Fedora 20. On Fedora 19, there was a scrollbar if the list was longer than the avalable screen space, so any list entry can be choosen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.10.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install many window managers, for example the optional packages of yum group window-managers: yum install gdm kdm lightdm lxdm WindowMaker bbkeys blackbox bluetile dwm dwm-user fluxbox fvwm hackedbox i3 i3-doc i3lock i3status icewm matchbox-window-manager obconf obmenu openbox ratpoison wmx xcompmgr xmonad xmonad-mate 2. Use gdm as login manager. 3. Enter a username to the login window and press enter (or the login button). 4. Click on the wheel icon below the password input field to get a list of available window managers. Actual results: Only the first entries of the list that fits on the screen are displayed. Expected results: All list entries are displayed on the screen, or there is a scrollbar to be able to scroll in the list.

This bug exists in Fedora 21.
I think the correct term is "desktop" (as in GNOME, KDE, etc.), not "window manager". Anyway, occurs in 20, 21, and Rawhide.

I couldn't find a bug in GNOME's bugzilla, so I filed https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741918 .
Thank you Andre. It appears to be an issue with the dialog box/menu widget used. I see the same problem in a Gnome 3 desktop on some user themes using that same odd shaped window. It does not seem to register where the end of the screen is at. (So you get a list of "Sound Applications" that end at "t" instead of scrolling when using the "applications menu" extension.) If that does not make sense, I can take screen shots.
