Description

Hi.
I would like to solve the following issue: Linux Mint Cinnamon Slick Greeter only showing 6 of 7 usernames. The usernames are shown on roughly 25 % of the vertical pixel real estate (1080). I have 7 users and this way only 6 are shown until the lowest or top one are clicked to reveal the 7th. Since there is a lot more space available, how can I make it show all users, as long as there is enough space?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the Slick Greeter user list with seven users at 1080px, then trace the layout that limits visible usernames. Done means all seven users are visible without needing to click the top or bottom entry when sufficient space is available.
