Also note that these popups are really not centered horizontally.

In lib/widget/dialog.c: dlg_set_size(), if DLG_TRYUP is set, the window is moved up by two lines. If DLG_CENTER is unset at the same time, it's not specified compared to what it's moved upwards. And since dlg_set_size() is called over again on each resize, the window keeps moving up.

It's unclear to me what DLG_TRYUP without DLG_CENTER should mean, whether it should be declared as invalid (how?) or if dlg_set_size() should be tolerant here.

The logic of "if (y > 3) y -= 2" is weird, it's not monothonic: 4 gets decremented to 2, but 3 stays 3.

The comment of dlg_set_size():
"this function sets only size, leaving positioning to automatic methods"
is obviously incorrect.

Patch attached. It's not complete yet, the popup doesn't change the number of lines shown (e.g. when decrement the height so that the entries no longer fit, they move out of the terminal area instead of the widget decrementing the number of visible lines and adding a scrollbar), but it is better than the current version.

Replying to egmont:

It's unclear to me what DLG_TRYUP without DLG_CENTER should mean, whether it should be declared as invalid (how?) or if dlg_set_size() should be tolerant here.

And do we really need the DLG_TRYUP flag?

Patch attached.

Thanks! Applied as 2nd commit in the branch. The 1st commit fixes the position of popup window itself.

Doesn't compile due to obvious syntax error:
if (y > 3))
