Scott, can you reproduce the issue?
Comment 2 Scott Harvey 2018-09-18 20:40:53 UTC 
I'm on openSUSE Tumbleweed, and it doesn't want to show the "other user" selection. I've got a second user - Joe Test - but it won't show.

Give me some time and I'll set up a VM with Kubuntu or Neon.

Oversized dropdown

Confirmed in Neon Dev Stable. I'll dig into it and see if I can find what's going on.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2018-09-19 23:23:50 UTC 
I'm guessing it's a regression from https://cgit.kde.org/polkit-kde-agent-1.git/commit/?id=d4ee26a76a217a5beed73c44080b3a49b7b681a0
Comment 5 Scott Harvey 2018-09-19 23:27:54 UTC 
I don't think so. I think there's something funky in the layout (sizeHints, etc.). 

I'll pull it into QtCreator and see if there's a weird size setting somewhere.
Comment 6 Scott Harvey 2018-09-25 21:03:09 UTC 
The combobox appears to be expanding into the space reserved for the AuthDialog (?) that magically appears in the center of the dialog when the password is incorrect. That's always struck me as a very odd visual design.

(I know I didn't work on this before, because it's a PITA and I would have remembered.)

I had set up a task - https://phabricator.kde.org/T8569 - where I expected people to discuss redesigning this dialog. There were plenty of redesign/reword comments in an unrelated patch, but this Task went nowhere.

Can we pick it up again and see if there's a better visual solution? The way the dialog is built now would require tearing it apart to stop this glitch.

If you click on Details it appears fixed, but when you resize the dialog it becomes bigger. See attached video for more info.
