Is it possible to implement an option that enables the auto-expanding of the parent items while filtering?

This functionality is available in Kendo UI for Angular:

For example:

  • If you search "steven", the result should contain the parent item "Steven Buchanan" and all of its child items:

### Bug report

When setting autoWidth: true and expanding a node, the popup's width is not adjusted based on the displayed child nodes.

### Reproduction of the problem

1) Enable the autoWidth option and open the DropDownTree.

2) Expand an item. A horizontal scrollbar appears and the width of the popup is not adjusted as expected:

A Dojo sample for reproduction: https://dojo.telerik.com/faeuFFwb/2

### Expected/desired behavior

The width of the popup must be automatically adjusted when expanding an option and the "autoWidth" option is enabled.

### Environment

* **Kendo UI version: 2025.2.702
* **jQuery version: 3.7.1
* **Browser: [all]
