Have you checked the size of the container or section that the repeater is inside? You need to make sure the minimum height is set at the smallest you want it to be or set to auto so it’ll auto adjust with the repeater changes. A set height is often the issue, or that the repeater is set with x amount of pixels as a margin from the top (since you say the space is above the repeater). It’s probably something along those lines that you might have to go through 1 by 1 and narrow down where it’s coming from, but it’s unlikely it has anything to do with the dropdown filter itself.
