ComboBox: open drop down positioned at current item

[bill]

When selection is made and then drop down button pressed, position list at selection and have the selcted item with sel emphasis.

This seems difficult to do especially given dojo.data works but filing for consideration.

Taken from IBM Design Leadership recommendations.

is this the same as #6461 ? if so it can be closed

Nope, it's different. The idea is that, for example, if the input box says "California" and then you press the button to open the drop, the drop down will display w/all 50 states but it will scroll so that California is in the middle of the displayed portion of the drop down list, and the current drop down item is California (in the sense that pressing the down arrow key will move to Colorado, and pressing the up arrow key will move to "Armed Forces the Americas")
