        Add an additional 20 users to the course (or create a new course using the S 'Make test course' dev tool)

      6. Click select all
      7. The page should refresh to show every user (no pagination) and all users should be selected

      On /user/index.php?id=<COURSE-ID>, there's the participants page for a course. By default, this page does only show the first 20 users and has a page switcher.

      Our teachers have reported to us that they use this page to send messages to their students. If a teacher goes to this page, clicks on "Select all" and then "With selected users... -> Send a message", he will only send a message to the first 20 users!! To send a message to all users, he would have to click the "Show all xx" links at the bottom first. This usability problem has already produced anger amongst our users.

      I would like to see an admin setting to globally disable the page switcher or a UI improvement to remove this stumbling block.
