Candidates are hidden when input is too long #484

Description

@mohkale

The minibuffer window for selectrum seems to scroll once you input enough content which leads to the candidates on the current line being hidden. This would be fine cause you rarely input really long patterns but when your in a very long directory (eg. ~/.config/dotfiles/prog/editors/emacs/lisp/straight/repos/consult/) it makes certain commands such as find-file basically unusable.

You can see the scrolling affect in this asciicast.

Reproduction Instructions

  1. emacs -nw -q
  2. C-x b RET and input
(require 'selectrum)
(selectrum-mode +1)
  1. Try changing to a really deeply nested directory and notice how you can't see any of the files when running find-file.
