Bug Description
The vertical layout of the filter editor dialog changed with rev 14846 (for bug #1436180), and stretches the different sections proportionally to the dialog's overall height, instead of keeping the parameter settings in the bottom part tightly packed. This reduces the vertical space available to display the filter primitives list (which can get quite long depending on the complexity of the filter effect).
Noticed with Inkscape 0.91+devel r14848 (GTK2) on OS X 10.7.5.
Attached are screenshots with rev 14845 (before, left) and rev 14848 (after, right) of the filter editor dialog, resized to fill the maximal available height in the document's main dock. The width of the dialog is unchanged, as original used when launching the dialog for the first time in the current session. The filter primitive infobox is turned off in the preferences for the screenshots (see bug #1570598 wrt empty placeholder area).
Try this patch out and let me know if this solves both this and https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/ +bug/1570598
