Multiple search results overlapping onto the "Application" title

SUMMARY
When selecting "Align search results to bottom", and searching for a query with a long list of results, said results will overlap onto the "Application" title. This only happens with "Applications" category; "System Settings", "Files" and others properly display a scroll bar.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch to the 'Kicker' applet 
2. Enable "Align search results to bottom" from "Configure Application Menu" > "General"
3. Search for anything that results in a long list of applications

OBSERVED RESULT
The list of search results go over the "Application" title.

EXPECTED RESULT
The list of search results are scroll-able, like other categories available.

This is easily reproducible on git-master by searching for "s" in the App Menu

This also seems to be fixed with 1712b9ac3260fadf0930972e6237bf38047b0724 and will be in Plasma 6.5
