Previously, we added this so that the user is able to see the whole list instead of a few items.

So the thought was that if a user is trying to scroll the list, the user probably wants to see the items below the keyboard. This kind of helped on small screens.

PR ready for review. I'm choosing not to CP it so that it gets to undergo a full regression suite.
