I have 2 versions of Abiword, and they both show the same problem. Choosing "Save As" from the file menu takes me to a dialog that prompts for filetype. When I swing the mouse over the drop down, there is a huge space before the first entry called 'automatically detect'. 


I have reported this first to AbiWord folks as bug 13054, with following text:
- - - - - - - - - -
I have Fedora 14, and Abiword 2.8.6 iirc and when I do a 'Save As' there is all
this wasted space filling up FileTypes before it gets to the actual filetypes.

I have Abiword 2.6.4 on Elive Topaz (2.0) and it shows the same problem, a lot
of white space before 'Automatically detected' is shown.

To which the Abiword team has replied:

"This is GTK issue, and their position is adamant that this whitespace is what
user needs."

The huge whitespace forces an unnecessary pageDown right away. Where is it picking up those entries? I'd like to clean that if I could figure where they're coming from. I use Abiword a lot, and on 2 different machines, the behavior can be annoying; I'm sorry.
