        I think Luke did that for some annoying problems in the presenter view
where we have this side-panel with an incomplete / partial list of
transitions and/or other bits; which caused some interaction annoyance;
but I guess this needs to be done at a higher level there. Then again -
Cor reported problems there somehow.

Hmm, maybe this is annoying. But what if we would just draw a border around the control. See the attached image. Not so annoying now, right?

Opinions from the UX point of view? :) Do we really need to shrink a listbox so that it does not show a partially visible item at the bottom, or adding a border is enough?

Actually that creates some problems:
1. Some listboxes get too small so that it's impossible to use the
scrollbar.[1]
2. Just open the LibreOffice file picker and resize it. Notice the ugly
gray space between the bottom of the listbox and the bottom of the
decoration.

        I just reverted it on 3-5; thanks for that.

Yes, I can make the current behavior optional and use it somewhere. But
where?..

        That'd be good I guess :-) It'd be good to get a description of the
problem in the bug, so we can improve the slideshow as well as the
file-selector.

The file-selector is ok now, let's find a solution for Impress' slide transitions list right here...

Regards,
Ivan
