Could we make list chooser resizable

Nicolas Cellier wrote

Hi,
the new list chooser is not bad, except that it should be resizable.
It has sliders, OK, but I have space on screen and want to see more at once.
For example, when I want to copy a MC version to another repository, it's
quite unusable.

More over try to resize with halo: the halo for inner list appears outside
the Window Morph, and when we click outside guess what? Yeah popular
preference, dismiss the window...

Ah OK,
I didn't even think of it.
the inner border was not looking thick in attached png, maybe I'm not using
the right theme.
and also, it's rather unusual UI.

Yeah, it's a trade-off. Let me just colorize those handles...

(It's not theme-releated.)

Best,
