How to remove the extra margin on top and bottom of a long listing
Problem: A long listing in a two-column document occupies the entire column, and doesn't allow any text to appear above or below it.
What I would like to achieve: a listing which is positioned at the top of the page that doesn't occupy the entire column.
Tried: When I remove a couple of lines from the listing, the problem disappears. Also, removing float solves the problem of extra margin, but it breaks the positioning.
I have read the related questions on the forum, but couldn't find my answer.
Image of the Minimal Example:

Code of the minimal example:
documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{blindtext}
usepackage{listings} % for code typesetting
title{temp}
lstset{language=C++,
basicstyle=scriptsizettfamily,
}
begin{document}
