Bug Description

I have noticed that if the number of "saved entries" is increased beyond the default "5" or if the main GEDIT window is vertically small (for instance 10 lines) and you click on the "open a file" button you get a truncated list of saved file names.

Since the "other documents" button is at the BOTTOM of the list, it never gets displayed.

1. Suggest that the file list be displayed as a scrollable list, which would be displayed in a window whose height is large enough to display the entire list (or maximized at screen height).

2. Suggest that the "other documents" button be moved to the top of the open files list.

3. This can be tested by either making the main edit screen shorter in height, or by using the tweaks tool to increase the number of saved entires in gedit.
