Bug Description

I wanted to hide users at the login screen by adding one line (HideUser...) to the file /etc/sddm.conf:
[Users]
MaximumUid=65000
MinimumUid=1000
HideUsers=<username1>,<username2>

The problem is, that only the first user will be hidden, all following users are still visible.
When I change the sequence of the users, still only the first user will be hidden.
I tried also to use the user IDs, or to use semicolons instead of comma, but nothing helps.

I asked my question to a german ubuntu forum, they think it is a bug.
