@redmunds, my original one line fix for this problem was to scroll "current selection" into view, as you suggested.  I posed the design question here: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/7458#issuecomment-42502294.

Pulling in @njx for an design opinion.  I can do whatever you guys want, just need to know the expected behavior for multiple selects contained in view and multiple selects beyond the view.
