Description
Problem Statement
When using the Site or Folder picker (e.g. when relating content), the folder tree cannot be scrolled or expanded beyond the height at which it initially renders. If a folder or page is outside the visible area of the initial render, it becomes inaccessible the user cannot scroll down to reach it.
Steps to Reproduce

Acceptance Criteria
Expected Behavior:
The folder tree should be fully scrollable, allowing users to navigate to any folder or page regardless of its position in the tree.
Actual Behavior:
The folder tree is locked to its initial render height. Any folders or pages that fall outside this area cannot be accessed.
