I've just noticed the same behaviour in the edgy installation program (selecting the partitions and their mount points).
I guess this is just default policy of some GTK widget. Weird. This makes the bug slightly debatable. Although this default behavior is still ugly and illogical. You notice it in its extreme in Gaim because the status-button is at the bottom and the default status is available (the first option of the list). -- Status list has empty space on top when list popups at the bottom https://launchpad.net/bugs/64631 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
