Scrollable dropdowns not discoverable #148

When there is a dropdown with a lot of options on a block, it isn't apparent that you can scroll and see more options. One example of this is from the Minecraft: Hero's Journey activity.

Some possible solutions:

  • Make the scrollbar always visible, so it's clear to the user that it is scrollable.
  • Show a small arrow at the bottom (this would especially be helpful for touch users).
  • Make the last viewable item on the list only half shown so it's clear that there are more options.

Separately, it might also be helpful if the dropdown menu took up more space (height) on the screen to reduce times when the user would have to scroll.
