Description Rich Johnson 2009-10-05 04:13:51 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux

When changing the UID 'Below' setting in the Login Manager under System Settings causes duplicate users. To reproduce, do the following:

1) System Settings -> Advanced -> Login Manager
2) Go to the Users tab
3) In the box 'System UIDs' there is a 'Below' text box, place mouse cursor at the end of the text (default is 1000)
4) Backspace one time (list on the right for users and groups should expand to match results
5) Add the '0' back making it 1000 again - users didn't go away from previous step (bug 1)
6) Remove backspace again making the number 100 - user/group list duplicates pretty much everything (bug 2)

If you continue removing and adding the 0, the list keeps duplicating.

kdm reached it's end of life with Plasma 4, whose last bugfix release was last August 2015, we are sorry we did not get to fix this bug.

We encourage you to try Plasma 5 and its recommended display manager SDDM and it's control module kcm_ssdm.

And please do not hesitate to file bugs against it if you find any.

Sorry again we could not fix your bug.
