Description Chris 2017-09-22 05:09:31 UTC 
Finally isolated this bug.

Steps to reproduce:
- Open any report eg Transaction Report
- Find a selector with multiline selector eg Sorting/PrimaryKey
- Change it to one of the lower options e.g. Number or Memo
- Move the whole "Report Options" window to top of desktop
- Try changing Sorting/PrimaryKey again.

Expected:
The Sorting/PrimaryKey selector should still display whole list. Because the top-of-list is now above the top-of-screen, it should really display up/down arrows to scroll list. The correct behavior is shown in the general Edit > Preferences > Choose Report Currency.

Obtained:
The Sorting/PrimaryKey selector does not open at all. Tracefile shows gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width 183 and height -29

Windows7, 2.6.17

No need. 2.7.0 onwards with GTK3 won't have this issue.
