Description

Reproducible in Firefox, but not in Vivaldi:

Just after the showing animation is finished, the dialog is still big enough to show without scrollbar, but then for some reason decreases its height just by one line.
Don't know whether this is caused by a change in VE or in OOjs UI, but this scrollbar wasn't there some time ago.

Is this on a Linux device? That platform has serious font height management issues that's come up several times before…

I think it's just that the combination of German and Firefox+Linux default font makes it wrap to three lines.
