Autocomplete list with short entrys jumps around on resize - Bug?

Hi,

I have a question regarding the Autocomplete list. The list seems to behave
strange when it contains entrys that are very short: If the list only
contains entries with for example a maximum length of 4 chars and I try to
resize it by clicking on its border, the list jumps to the right. One
example list could be:

dec
inc
jmp

With these entries that are all very short, the list jumps very far when
trying to resize it.

The more chars the longest entry has, the smaller is the "distance" that
the list jumps to the right - If it contains at least one entry with more
than 8 chars it seems that the list doesn't jump any more on manual
resizing, but maybe the distance is just so small that one can't recognize
it. With 8 chars there is still a very small jump observable.

I guess this is a bug?

Best Regards,
CD

This appears to occur when the maximum calculated width is less than the minimum width. Change made to ensure the maximum size is always greater than or equal to the minimum size.
