Hi, and thanks for exploring the UI possibilities for this module.
To give the maintainers a better sense of what potential improvements could be made to the UI of the autcomplete, can you provide an example of what behavior you would expect to see? I assume it would still be useful to have a list of matches that can be browsed. Are you, however, picturing that those matches would be contained within a scrollable area?
Or should the Editor Advanced Link items be located in a different place relative to the link field?
Thanks!

Hi, Sorry for the delay. because CKEditor 5 was not "ready" for primetime for my client I was redirected to upgrade our site to Drupal 10.
Basically right now if linkit embeds the dropdown for the autocomplete in the form. When you are just running the standard ckeditor 5 link plugin there is nothing below it except the β and the β of the ck balloon drop down. When you start enabling other modules like editor advanced which adds additional fields below the url the drop down starts to no look correct.
Also other problems occurs when the balloon is lengthened by the auto complete it can push the lower items off the bottom of the screen making them unaccessible.
What I would like to see is something like the jQuery UI autocomplete which pops the list out and doesn't expand the window. It would be better if it was how linkit does it in CKEditor 4 where the list expands over the following elements and not push them off the page.
