Screenshot fropm example, initial window size.

Using the --list option, one would expect that the complete list is visible, as long as screen size permits. However, even modest list are confined to a window barely high enough for one line. (attachment 1 [details])

Also, when making the overall zenity window largar, the list window does not grow to accomodate the new height (attachment 2 [details])

This is most easily shown using the example in the manual:
zenity --list \
  --title="Choose the Bugs You Wish to View" \
  --column="Bug Number" --column="Severity" --column="Description" \
    992383 Normal "GtkTreeView crashes on multiple selections" \
    293823 High "GNOME Dictionary does not handle proxy" \
    393823 Critical "Menu editing does not work in GNOME 2.0"

Sorry, probably a dup of bug #702535.

Can you please verify with latest zenity from git?

Hello, same problem here, thus I've just compiled zenity from git, and the fix works like a charm! The example provided in the first post of this bug report now works perfectly. Thanks :)
