Long drop downs on modals force scrolling the modal content

[sjd78]

This happens in both PF4 and PF5.

Try creating a new tag category:

• Controls page
• Tags tab
• "Create tag category"
• Open the "Color" drop down

A new scrollbar will appear in the modal content and the drop down contents will be below the visible range.

Having the drop down render below the range of the Modal, but still be fully visible on the page, would be a better experience.

Hey @sjd78 what you mean is you want the drop down to extend out of the modal?

Yes, but not below the visible range of the view port.
