"zenity --list" has a window of 3 lines only

[Christophe C]

On xubuntu 14.04 (but others as the same problem on others flavours), a zenity box (zenity version 3.8.0) using "zenity --list" option only show a usable window of 2 or 3 lines. The rest of the zenity box is a very very thick border.

for example, in a terminal, type :
zenity --list --text="foo" --radiolist --width=500 --height=630 --column="check" --column="N°" --column="side" false 0 "Gauche" false 1 "right" false 2 "bottom" true 3 "top"

No problem in former versions of ubuntu, only in Trusty Thar.

The bug is also describe on gnome bugzilla : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702535. The correction seems very simple : "Adding this line at line 1024 in /usr/share/zenity/zenity.ui seems to fix [the bug] : <property name="expand">True</property>. The patch work perfectly on my PC.

Edit : the bug existed on 13.10 and was patched https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zenity/+bug/1192101.
