Hi

Sorry if this is duplicated…

I’m working on custom hint provider and it contains 100+ hints  
When I set selectedhint on for example 50th hint, it looks working, but only I can see it after scrolling down to that hint. Could someone please let me know how i can show selected hint even it’s located in lower part of the hint?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve pushed a patch that scroll the initially selected item into view. That sounds like it should solve this issue.
