VisualEditor: Dropdown clipping is a bit too aggressive

Description

Dropdown clipping

Referring to the attached screenshots there are two issues:

  1. The width is not adjusted to account for the OS scrollbacks. I assume this is because has one of those fancy Macintosh computers that doesn't know how to draw a big chunky old-fashioned scroll bar.
  1. The assumption is made the the height of the VE container is the maximum height the scrollbar expand to. Here that is clearly not the case. It may be the case that because we don't know what lies beyond the borders of VE (e.g. z-index 9999 banner), we can't do anything about this. Maybe we can make the assumption the page content is sane, and if the dropdown ends up obscured, leave that as an integration problem for the user?
