Opening the dropdown should scroll to the selected item.

Currently the drop down opens at the first item. It would be better if it scrolled to ensure the current selection is visible.

A second issue exists in that moving the mouse over the dropdown to scroll clobbers the original active item so you can no longer tell what the selected item was (when using the selectize theme).

It would probably be better if the hover state was separate from the active state as mentioned in #282.

It should indeed scroll to the selected item. +1

For anyone in a pinch, the "_ensureHighlightVisible()" function is called whenever the user strikes a "vertical" key (e.g. up/down arrow). While I haven't run the tests yet, I've seen success executing the same logic inside the "ctrl.activate()" function's $timeout where focus is also set. Again, this is merely a bandaid.

Will be solved with PR #1208

When reset-search-input is set to false in ui-select directive, the dropdown does not highlight/select nor scroll to the previously selected item.

The PR #1208 has broken multiple selection with close-on-select=false, if the user use the mouse to select an item, then it goes back to the highlighted element.

For instance, the user wants to select X, Y and Z. He selects X with the mouse and the dropdown goes back to A (which is the current highlighted element)
