1. Open the link inspector 2. Type something that will get a lot of suggestions (e.g. "M") 3. Resize the window so that the suggestions menu clips 4. Type more characters so that you will get very few suggestions (e.g. "Mfdsafsdfads") The new list of suggestions is now short enough that it doesn't need to clip any more, but the menu doesn't shrink. If you do this while the menu isn't clipping, it shrinks just fine. AIUI the core of the issue is that we don't have a way to tell ClippableElement that the natural size of the element changed and that it should reevaluate the clipping state.
