Selections are hidden by tool panels

[probablycorey]

New selections can be hidden behind tool panels. For example, when find and replace selects a match, but that match is located behind the find and replace panel, the editor doesn't scroll. The only way to view the selection is to manually scroll the editor or to close the find and replace view.

I've noticed that as well.
And I have seen this behavior in a lot of much more mature editors, so it's one of those little annoyances the resolving of which would be a quick little win for Atom.

This is because we're not detecting the editor resize. Previously this was working with overflowchanged events, but I think some changes I made to the layout somewhere along the way broke that. We need to explore other approaches to detecting a change in the editor's size.
