up/down arrow key issue with typeahead control (angular bootstrap UI)
Check this PLNKR , i have implemented typeahead control, By default in type ahead control they are not setting any max-height or height to list, but as per requirement i have to fix height of list to 110px. So, when we have longer list at a time only 4 data will be shown and rest can be seen by scrolling down. Scrolling is working while user click on scroll up/down arrows, but it's not working with keyboard up/down keys.
The problem is explained in steps:-
- Type something i.e "a" to get data in typeahead (list will be populated)
- Press down-arrow key (focus will be on list item)
- Press down-arrow key 4-5 time to go further down (When we traverse down to list, scroll is not getting moved.)
- It always show top 4 items in list. Ideal behavior is it should shift.
User is able to scroll by clicking on scroll manually but with arrow key it's not scrolling.

Answer
In this I have override ui-bootstrap typeahead as suggested in the answer.
Following are the changes I need to make it work:
Added following line in typeaheadMatch directive (line - 335 of ui.bootstrap.typeahead.js file in the plunker)
element[0].focus();
Added shouldFocus directive (line - 314 -350)
.directive('shouldFocus', function(){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope,element,attrs){
scope.$watch(attrs.shouldFocus,function(newVal,oldVal){
element[0].scrollIntoView(false);
});
}
};
})
and finally added directive in li (line - 372)
should-focus=\"isActive($index)\"
