Gutsy - Deskbar results window is too small when copy-pasting/until second input keypress

[VF]

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

If you open Deskbar and type a word on Gutsy, it works fine. If you type a single letter, the Deskbar results window appears very small. This isn't usually a problem, unless you copy and paste (ctrl-v or using the right click menu), then the results window is too small until you type something else. It's rather quirky and annoying - I've tried resetting the /apps/deskbar/window_height gconf key, doesn't help.

Thanks for your report, that works fine in my desktop if i copy & paste to it i get the same size window if i type into it. Not confirming for now, thanks.

marking this as triaged since you already send this upstream and someone else confirm it there. thanks.

I don't know if I have a similar bug: I have the stick to panel option enabled (not the windowed mode) and whenever I enter anything in the search box I get a window in which only 3 results fit. Then I have to scroll.
In some strange cases something is triggered and the output window automatically resizes itself to a good height.
Am I with you?
