I can't confirm this when adding associations.
However, when adding an entity attribute the attribute compartment
in the entity box is made taller than needed (a blank line appears
below the new attribute.)

Fix for the problem

m_List apparently holds the associations in addition to the attributes, and it
seems that it holds even more, resulting in the minimum size reported by the
EntityWidget having far too much height. This patch filters out the attributes
and counts those for the calculation of the height.

If the patch is correct I'm happy to commit to 3.5 branch.

Looks fine to me, go right ahead!
