Description
I created a very basic custom control that implements the DropDown control from azure-devops-ui. When the DropDown control is clicked, the form does not adjust so the contents are not visible - the drop down list is obscured by the fields on the work item form below it:
I tried calling the SDK resize method in various places but have not been able to get the form to resize.
I implemented a similar control with the older VSS SDK which does resize correctly, but the older SDK does not honor the themes used in AzDo so I need to use the newer SDK.
My repo (ignore the readme, I used the control sample repo as a starting point): https://github.com/jonvest/azure-devops-dropdown

Research direction
Start with the custom control and reproduction in the linked azure-devops-dropdown repository, then inspect how the DropDown from azure-devops-ui is integrated with the work item form. Reproduce the obscured menu and compare the resize behavior with the older VSS SDK implementation. Done means the DropDown contents remain visible when opened in the newer SDK.
