That's odd. I've never seen that happen. I have several scripts that create very long lists, and the list window only spans the height of the screen. The scroll bar is there to allow access to the list items that are "not visible".
Just to make sure that I wasn't dreaming, I just ran this.
set listTest to {}
repeat with i from 1 to 1000
set temp to (i as text)
copy temp to end of listTest
end repeat
choose from list listTest
...and the list behaves exactly as expected (scroll bar appears, both buttons can be clicked).
You shouldn't have to manage list length. That's not how it was intended to be, and there's something else going on to create your problem. The list window should not extend beyond the bottom of your screen. The routine that generates that window certainly appears to be "aware" of the screen height.
Do you have some odd monitor resolution change thing going on?
