Increase the height of the database connection chooser in Editor window again
Until LinqPad 7, the database connection chooser in the Editor window top-bar used to expand to the full length of the window. But since v8, it has a fixed height (looks like 320px or so). The scrolling experience of the dropdown is very poor which makes scrolling n choosing a row entry that much frustrating. Would be great if the old behavior is put back, i.e. full-height. If that cannot be done, please improve the scrolling experience.

This has been fixed in 9.3.19 as follows:
(1) The combo dropdown is now much taller
(2) Hovering over the last item should no longer result in scrolling
(3) It now responds better to the scrollwheel
(4) If now responds to native trackpad scrolling gestures
Also note that in most cases there are easier ways to select a connection (such as dragging the connection from the TreeView to the editor, or right-clicking the connection and choosing "Use in current script").

Oh! I didn't know v9 was out. Sorry. Will try it.

(If this was an Open Source project, I'd be more than happy to tweak it myself and raise a PR rather than a suggestion ticket. Sorry.)

Oh right! Just to clarify, the problem is not exactly when you do explicit _mouse scroll_. Rather the problem is with "hovering". When your mouse reaches the last row of the Connections dropdown, it starts auto-scrolling. THAT is frustrating because I cannot choose that last row without the section auto-scrolling, and I'm like, "where did my option go!" So, yeah, I don't mind the clipped height as much as this auto-scrolling on the last row thing.
