[dropdown] no logic that handles long content

[giladv]

Hello,

Here's an example of what i mean:
https://codesandbox.io/s/kdbbq?module=App.js&file=/App.js

essentially, a long list of items on a dropdown stretches the entire page.

expected behavior

The dropdown is trimmed in height to fit the entire available vertical space, added an overflow auto and maybe even autoscroll when a hidden item is focused.

also, even if i wanted to implement that kind of a behavior myself, the logic popper js logic is not exposed so we can't easily calculate the content height + absolute location to know how to size it..

or am i missing something?

Hi @giladv, yes you are correct that this is a limitation of this primitive currently.
We are doing this in the Select we're currently building as it is much more needed there usually, but hopefully we can bring this kind of thing to the other menus later.

Thanks @benoitgrelard,
is it possible -as a temp solution- to expose some of popper js's api so it is possible for users to implement their own solution for now?

I don't think it would easily be done unfortunately.
