The area that I show in my screenshot, which is shown at the top of the page
when adding a new item to my inventory; is it even necessary. I don't see
absolutely any usefulness at all. If I accidently get my mouse over it when using
my touchpad, it'll scroll and select a totally different item to list.

Is there really any reason for that to exist in the first place? It's annoying
and increases the chance for a mistake.

There is a chrome extension called BrinkTinker that removes the unnecessary portions
of the listing window.

I first found that extension discussed here on the forum, but I'm sorry I
cannot find the old thread.

I have used BrickTinker in the past, but no longer use Chrome. While it does
"fix" the problem, it still doesn't explain why that list even exists in
the first place. I see no usefulness whatsoever.
