Comment (by mrjarbenne):

 Thanks @helen for taking a look at this. I don't believe that #15317 is a
 duplicate of this issue. The conversation there seems to be focused on
 limiting the number of items that might appear in a menu. That logic is
 bound to fail, given that the number would need to account for the
 smallest possible screen a user might use to navigate their site. A better
 fix would be to enable scrolling of all of the dropdowns, in the same way
 that the dashboard menu allows scrolling, when/if a menu extends beyond
 the bottom of the browser. This functionality can also be seen on
 wordpress.org: when the menu reverts to a "hamburger" flyout on smaller
 screens, the resulting menu scrolls beyond the boundaries of the screen
 size.

 If indeed the conversation eventually comes around to focusing on the
 issue I'm highlighting here, certainly the ticket title and initial report
 isn't useful in bringing attention to this issue, which seems to have sat
 dormant for two years up until a search plugin is mentioned, which is
 great functionality when we are talking about a menu with a high number of
 items, but is overkill when a menu is exceeding the screen size by only
 two or three lines.
