There are a couple of things going on here.

For one, resizing the window doesn't always correctly reset $COLUMNS
[which is columns in listlist()] so the computation of number of lines
required is not always correct.  Not sure what can be done about that,
it's to do with whether the terminal delivers SIGWINCH.

Another is the below; somebody confirm it works before I commit:
