Description

When async select component is close to bottom of the screen it doesn't seem to automatically place the menu above the input when menuPlacement="auto" and menuIsOpen={true}:

<AsyncSelect
  cacheOptions
  loadOptions={loadOptions}
  defaultOptions
  onInputChange={this.handleInputChange}
  menuPlacement="auto"
  menuIsOpen={true}
/>

When menuIsOpen={true} is not set and the menu is opened on click - everything works fine.

Research direction

Start with the linked CodeSandbox and compare AsyncSelect's controlled-open path with the working click-open behavior, focusing on menuPlacement="auto". Reproduce the issue with the menu near the bottom of the screen; done means the open menu is automatically positioned above the input when menuIsOpen={true}.
