Bug ID: 67150
Summary: VisualEditor: In which it is apparently impossible to
create a redirect to [[Foo]] because the list of
possible links does not scroll
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Page settings to create a redirect on the English Wikipedia.
2. Type "foo" (an actual article—well, a redirect to an actual article about
metasyntactic variables) in the field.
3. Look at the search results, which are all about football (plus one for
[[Foot (length)]] and one for the US FDA). Think, "I must need to scroll down
past all of this sports stuff"... but it doesn't scroll.
If you click on any of these items, then your correct link to "Foo" gets
replaced by whatever was highlighted.
It turns out that you can actually get the link to "Foo", by clicking on any
place outside the dialog box (to make the search results go away) and then
clicking on "Apply changes", but this is really Not Good. To make things
worse, due to bug 61861, you can't see what actually happened without either
going to Review your changes or saving the page.
