Description
Currently, when a dropdown is opened, the position of the list starts at the top, regardless of the currently selected item.
What should happen when a dropdown is opened, is that the position of the scrollbar should be maintained from the last time an item was selected.

This hasn't been fixed.
I'm not sure whether we want to fix it or not, though - currently I don't think we have many dropdowns long enough to scroll, and if we add some later then I don't know whether it'd be better to reset the position or not. So it might be best to revisit this when we have more GUI pages.

Disagree with the proposed fix, I think it should jump to the currently selected item (even if the dropdown has never been opened), which is not exactly the same as remembering the last position. Also list boxes need the same fix. I've combined a bunch of dropdown issues into a single ticket for convenience: #1532
Dropdown patch - remove resetting position to 0 upon list opening.
