Comment 1 Heiko Tietze 2021-01-13 09:33:36 UTC 
Caolan, do you think we can enhance dropdowns to show the filtered list on-the-fly? Either with a scrollbar or not unless the number of results is <8, or so. And it needs to be optional to not have it with numbers, for example the font size.

And do you think the benefit outweighs the effort?

I can't see a benefit vs cost.
