Some menu items not visible when selecting a session on login.

[Roland (Rolandixor) Taylor]

When I need to change my session, some menu items (including the necessary okay button) are not visible because of my screen resolution. This means that I have to use the tab key and guess my way to the okay button.

I only have this problem on an external monitor which is 1280x1024. My laptop's screen is broken, so I have no other option. My other laptop has a different resolution (I forgot exactly what it is off hand but IIRC it's like 1600x1050 or something?), but on there I have fewer sessions installed.

A reasonable solution IMO would be a scroll bar.

How many items do you have listed? Can you attach a screenshot? (unity-greeter --test-mode or a camera shot)

Well currently I have XFCE, Unity, Gnome Shell and Classic (Classic has
2 entries), Openbox, KDE, Pantheon and Enlightenment. And yes, I use
them all (except shell and classic, which I have only to track changes
in them). I'll probably post a screenshot later.

Either way, I don't see why this can't simply be remedied by adding a
scroll bar or allowing the list to scroll either when you reach the
bottom (with the mouse) or with the scroll wheel.
