Description
Reproduction Steps:
- Go to your documentations site (Getting Started -> Basic Usage)
- Click with the mouse on the first example (the one unser "and turn it into this...")
- Hover with the mouse over "Alaska"
- Press on the keyboard the Arrow-Down-Key 3 times
Actual:
- "Hawaii" is not selected
Expected:
- the entry that becomes visible should be activated. (Nevada)
This happens for both directions as long as the element under the mouse pointer is selectable.
Addional Information:
The scrolling works correct on the first drop-down (the plain select-style drop-down), but is also wrong on the 2nd example (the multi-select box).

Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in the documented Basic Usage examples, comparing the plain select-style dropdown with the multi-select box while hovering an option and pressing Arrow-Down. Trace the keyboard scrolling and hover interaction, then verify that the newly visible option is activated in both directions without changing the working first dropdown.
