RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

3. logout
4. look on user-list

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.
