Bug Description

At the logon screenwhen I boot Ubuntu (Trusty Tahr, 14.04.2 LTS), I am able to choose from multiple desktop environments by clicking the button to the right of the user name. I have many desktop environments installed, though, so this list is so long tha it spills off the bottom edge of the screen. The absence of a scrollbar, mouse-wheel support, or the ability to browe the list using arrow keys makes it so that the desktop environments near the bottom of the list cannot be accessed.

EDIT:
This may is the same problem as bug #1068605, but for a newer ubuntu version (and with no OK button, just options off the screen).

The obvious solution would be scrollbar and mousewheel support.
