Were you expecting a different shape or just wondering why it's 1 5?
It's 1 5 because it's the list of items that match the pattern icons
See:
1!:0 <'*.*'
On my computer, the shape is 9 5 because there are 9 entries in the
current working directory
$ (1!:0 <'addons')
1 5
0{"1 (1!:0 <'addons')
┌──────┐
│addons│
└──────┘
0{:: 0{"1 (1!:0 <'addons')
addons
> 0{"1 (1!:0 <'addons')
addons

On my system, when I replace <'icons' with <'*.*', the last item in
the select is:
uninstall.exeupdatejqt.cmd
I think you need to add LFs at the end of each item instead of just using ,
I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but this is what I came up with:
wd 'set lb items ', (> (4 : 'y,LF,x') each/ (0{"1 data))

Also, last tip, you may want to try posting in plain text or using
ctrl+shift+v... Your text comes out as double spaced when you paste
from jhs/jqt. Don't worry, I've made that mistake a hundred times and
will likely continue to do so.
