Add scrollbar to font weight menu
Problem: I often think I'm missing certain weights of a font because the dropdown fails to indicate the list is longer than the initial view.
Solutions:
1) Remove the height limitation on the dropdown — show me everything!
2) If that's impossible, at least show me a scroll bar, or have the text masked at the edge of the box to indicate the option to scroll. And start me at the beginning of the list if possible — very confusing to be started like 3 items into the list

I agree on both points - The dropdown's height is unnecessarily limited and the vertical scrollbar only appearing when you rollover is going way too far. Costs time to hover and check to see if it appears. Especially an issue when you're have font activation problems and you're possibly unsure if all your fonts are being detected by XD.
In my opinion, it's a form-over-function error on the part of the XD ui designers.
XD devs - Please don't ever hide the font weight dropdown if there needs to be one, and give the dropdown menu as much screen real-estate as you can.
We know you want to craft a beautiful simple ui for the app but this is a bit much. Please consider updating it.See my attached image, please. ALL that pink space I wish would be used to show me as many options as I have for Roboto without forcing me to scroll up and down. Would save a lot of people a lot of time.
