Bug Description
With quantal 12.10 Ubuntu changed lightdm so that it requires more mouse clicks with a button at the bottom to click after selecting the session.
The problem is my list of desktop environments scrolls off the bottom and I cannot click the bottom button (which I cannot see) to change environments. If I click the radio button for a different desktop environment and then the back button it does not change. This was not a problem with lightdm in 12.04 with the same number of desktop environments. I would add that the current lightdm uses more mouse clicks than the previous version which seems not to be a step forward.
I could remove desktop environments but I help on many forums and need experience with each. So I have had to change to gdm in the meantime, but would prefer to use lightdm. I await a resolution to this problem.
