Mouse scroll wheel scrolls whole Post while editing when attempting to scroll through autocomplete pop-up of internal Posts

[kanopikat]

When editing or adding a Post, if you highlight Paragraph text to turn into a link, if you begin typing a term to autocomplete the link with an internal Post, the scroll wheel scrolls the whole page, instead of just the pop-up with links you can choose from.

1. Navigate to dev site and create a Post
2. Add paragraph text and highlight
3. Select 'Link' and begin to type in search term to pull up internal Posts to reference as link
4. Use mouse scroll wheel to scroll through autocomplete items
5. Note that entire page scrolls

This has been replicated on multiple browsers by multiple users.
