Resolved: Changing "Small icon size" changes start menu height

[jadetheda]

EDIT: I might be stupid, I've realized this is almost certainly an issue with my theme, please disregard -- i am sorry😭

Describe the bug

Here's a visual example:

At 20, the height is 8 icons high
At 24, the height is 9 icons high.

This continues onward as the value increases.

Area of issue

Start menu

To reproduce

1. Observe default "Small item size" in Menu Look
2. Change it to a higher number
3. Restart
4. Observe how the start menu has grown

Expected behavior

This is definitely a bug, because it completely ignores the "Max recent programs" option. Even if you only have it set to display 6 programs at once, it'll still increase the height, leaving a massive void of white space.

Besides, because I see no reason why these two things should be linked lol

For "Large icon size", it makes sense, but changing the size of the items in a sub-menu (with a scrollbar and many items) definitely shouldn't change the size of the main menu.~~

Way back, I also encountered something like you had.
It may not be your theme at all.

The difference disappeared when I reset "Minimum menu height" in "Main Menu" tab.
