Answers.Text: I wish that did work. When I click on any of the countries, it adds it to the list and returns to the main screen. There's no opportunity to scroll down, because I'm back to square one.
  
  I have tried shift-clicking and control-clicking with no luck, either.

Comments.Text: Can't you not select the possible countries in the `Available countries` field itself and see if it works for you ? as I think `United States` selection is by default given to the available countries field if you leave it as blank.

Title: Available countries list won't appear when set in Localization
ThreadText: # Available countries list won't appear when set in Localization
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2016-02-09)
  
  We just upgraded to version 4.7.1, which reset our localization values.
  
  Our forms need to display a list of all possible countries for our contact address fields.
  
  However, when I go to Language and Currency Localization and remove all options from "Available countries," which leaves the field blank, our forms display a squashed box with only one option: the United States.
  
  When I then go back to the Language and Currency Localization page in CiviCRM, I see that the United States has been added back into the Available countries field.
  
  How can I include a list of all countries without manually adding them one by one, which looks to me right now like my only option?

  If I understand your question correctly you are asking how you can select all countries in one go.
  
  You can do this by clicking on the first country, then scroll down, press shift and click on the last country. Now press "Add".
  
  If you want to add or remove countries from the selection press Ctrl and click.
  
  Edit: please note that this only works in CiviCRM 4.6 and before. It is not possible to do this in CiviCRM 4.7.
