SUMMARY
Rendering of list of ppd files broken - exceeds screen limit. See screenshot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open systemsettings
2.  Go to printer module
3.  Add a new printer connection

OBSERVED RESULT
There is a list of ppd files that exceeds the window that is shown. The entries on the lower side cannot be chosen. The blue help text (left botton) is rendered on top of the PPD list.

EXPECTED RESULT
The rendering is visually pleasant. If there are more list entries than the window has space, on the right side a scrollbar is shown. All enries can be chosen.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also, it seems to me that less PPD entries would be better. Why are there so many duplicates?
