Plots2: Implement auto scroll in languages dropdown

[govindgoel]

Please describe the desired behavior.
We can implement auto scroll in language dropdown , as current behavior collapses the footer.

@cesswairimu can you tell your opinion on this.
Thanks

Can I work on this issue?

[govindgoel]

@Priyaraj17 This has to be reviewed meanwhile you can claim a first timer issue

@govindgoel Okay Thanks.

I am not so sure about this @govindgoel tagging @ebarry @jywarren @RuthNjeri to give views on this. Thanks

Hi @cesswairimu 😃 ...

Thanks for opening this up @govindgoel, I noticed that when the text Language is clicked, the list view is at the top and does not alter the footer...

The footer is altered when hovering the cursor on the text Language

I think the option would be to either change the position of the list item on hover or implement the auto-scroll option as you've mentioned...

[govindgoel]

@RuthNjeri If we change the position now then in the future there might be an addition of a language in the dropdown then the same situation can happen. So I think it would be better if we go with auto scroll.

[RuthNjeri]

Thanks @govindgoel I think the question for me is, if the same situation might happen with the addition of a language in the drop-down, how comes the same situation is happening now without the addition of a language in the drop down... wouldn't creating a solution that prevents the dropdown from altering the footer be the first place to look into?

[govindgoel]

@RuthNjeri Yeah sure we can have look at that first. I will update it here
