Keyboard selector scroll UI has large blank area

[Craig Younkins]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

When adding a new keyboard layout in gnome-keyboard-properties, the "language" and "country" drop down scroll boxes have large blank areas at the top. If you scroll down, then back up, there is no blank area and the entire height of the screen is used. This is how it should be initially.

Please see the attached screenshot.

I am unsure if this is a Gnome/GTK problem or if it is specific to the gnome-control-center, but I was unable to find another Gnome app that exhibits this behavior.

This is on 9.10 - Karmic.
