Current behavior 😯

See expected behavior first.
in v5 this does not work, and I tried a lot of different props and it does not work. Behavior in v5:
select v5

This popover over the input also happens when we have a lot of options that does not fit into screen, it's not just with resizing. I can live without the resizing part, but when I click on the input to open the menu, the popover should open always below the input.

Expected behavior 🤔

In v4 we could use this props in Select to have the menu always below the input:

MenuProps={{
            anchorOrigin: {
              vertical: "bottom",
              horizontal: "left"
            },
            getContentAnchorEl: null
          }}

select v4

Context 🔦

I want the same behavior as in v4

Research direction

Start at the Select component and compare the v5 menu-positioning behavior with the v4 MenuProps example in the issue. Reproduce the case with many options or a constrained viewport, then verify that the menu opens below the input without breaking necessary viewport handling.
