DropDownMenu should allow specifying area to not cover #1903

I'm trying to implement an auto-suggest box by using a TextField for entering text and a DropDownMenu for the list of suggestions. Unfortunately, if the dropdown doesn't fit below the textfield, it will cover it and expand up to the top of the window, making it unusable for auto-suggest.

There should be a way to specify an area inside the window the dropdown menu should not overlap. It could try fitting below, above and if it fails, simply limit itself in height.
