Description of problem: At login screen top right there is a dropdown to select text size. When text size is big the content in the dropdown is unreadable as only a fraction of one row is visible. It seems text in dropdown is large, but dropdown height is far too low. Steps to Reproduce: 1. At login use the dropdown to select big text 2. Now try to select small text using same dropdown F1/F2 buttons can be used instead, but that information is now hidden in the dropdown...
I shall come back to this, but can you please clear up just which display manager is concerned. The title says 'SDDM', the SRPM says 'light-dm'.

I have been playing. The quirk is really obscure. If you click the top-right person icon, it drops a tiny menu the first entry of which is 'larger', equated to F1; that is, you can toggle the larger style directly with F1. Having selected from the menu 'larger', that works. But when you next click the icon, the mini-menu massively overflows its box. If you click on the top blank bit, nothing happens; but if you then click the icon again, the mini-menu is shown correctly enlarged. If the first time you guess-scroll and click, you can revert things to normal. As with F1, of course. So that makes 3 ways of undoing the once-off quirk: - F1 - On first icon click, menu overflow, guess where to scroll to & click. - Click the icon a second time. It happens with Mageia 7 too. Assigning to you Jani as the maintainer.

Better to report this directly to upstream. https://github.com/Xubuntu/lightdm-gtk-greeter/issues
