Description G. Michael Carter 2011-04-25 14:11:02 UTC
Not really sure how to describe the problem or take a screen shot. 

On the login where you have a list of users to select, if there is more than 9 users the box grows passed the defined area.

Screenshot showing list of users failing to scroll

Here's a relevant screenshot. 

I'll also note that I use /etc/gdm/custom.conf's Include=... and IncludeAll=false directives, and in Fedora 14 those limited the users listed to just 3.  I guess that's another bug.

Comment 10 Robert K. Moniot 2011-08-15 20:24:51 UTC
A concise description of the bug is that gdm-simple-greeter lacks a scroll bar for selecting a user far down in the list.

The workaround we are using is to disable the user list.  (We prefer it that way anyhow; we have over 500 student accounts.)  Install gconf-editor, fire it up as root, go to apps, gdm, simple-greeter and change value of disable_user_list to checked, right-click on it and choose Set as Default.

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:20:14 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
