This is kinda a rofi bug.. rofi determines the size of a row in the listview based by creating a row and getting the size of the widget..
This is computed based on the pixel extend pango returns for a small string ("aAjb") this is then saved so it can pre-compute everything. This is for speed reasons.

If fonts has, mostly with icons, suddenly a glyph that is bigger then expected, this happens.
Last time I looked (years ago) there was not a quick way to find the largest glyph in available.

Pushed possible fix, if this does not fix it, I am not sure if it is easily fixable in rofi.
