Currently, the popup of the DropDownList component opens only at the bottom of the component.

It will be a very nice feature if the Native DropDownList has a property that can configure the popup of the component to appear above its input. 

This functionality will also be useful in scenarios where the DropDownList(DDL) is positioned at the bottom of a page. With the current implementation, when the DDL popup is expanded part of its items are hidden by the page borders.

Current behavior

When the DropDownList is focused and NOT expanded use the "Left/Right/Up/Down" arrows to change the selection in the component. The value in the DropDownList is changing but not being announced by the screen readers.

Expected behavior

The changed DropDownList value should be announced no matter the way the value has been changed.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

1. Start NVDA
2. Open this project
3. Focus the DropDownList
4. Use the keyboard arrows to change the component's value

The change event of the DropDownList is emitted when navigating between DropDownList options using the keyboard. 

The DropDownList should have a select event like it is in other Kendo UI suites and this select event should be emitted when using the keyboard with an expanded popup. Once a value is selected with, for example, click or 'Enter' press, then the change event should be triggered.

Describe the bug
When using the DropDownList in combination with its label and aria-required props the aria-required is not correctly rendered

To Reproduce

1. Open this CodeSandbox project
2. Open the browser's DevTools
3. Inspect the DropDownlist
4. See where the aria-required attribute is rendered

Expected behavior
The aria-required attribute should be rendered on the element with the "combobox" role.

Screenshots

In the DropDowns DataItems components we may want to render the id-s of the items and take it directly from the items.

 <div id="app">
            <kendo-dropdown
                :data-items="employees" :data-item-key="'id'" :text-field="'text'">
            </kendo-dropdown>
        </div>

        <script>
            const app = Vue.createApp({
                components: {
                    'kendo-dropdown': window.KendoVueDropdowns.DropDownList
                },
                data() {
                    return {
                        employees: [
                            { id: 182, text: "John" },
                            { id: 273, text: "James" },
                            { id: 325, text: "Jane" }
                        ]
                    }
                }
            });

            app.mount('#app');
        </script>

When using both filtering and virtualized dropdownlist, it can sometimes occur that the list will show no items after a series of repro steps:

Stackblitz (modified with only a console.log in the handlePageChange function) from Vue Dropdowns Library & DropDownList Component - Virtualization - Kendo UI for Vue Docs & Demos (telerik.com)

Qsz3dh (forked) - StackBlitz

1. open dropdown
2. type 33333 into the filter
3. see no data found
4. quickly remove the last 2 3's, so now you're only filtering on 333
5. quickly scroll down, then quickly scroll up
6. see no data found and see that skip is NaN in the console

The DropDownList doesn't select the correct item on initial load in the list when list starts with 'Baseball, Basketball'. This can be observed in the following example:

https://codesandbox.io/s/stoic-tdd-mfjlh2

Steps to reproduce:

• refresh the preview window
• tab to or open the dropdownlist
• press the 'B' key

Expected result:
'Baseball' is selected

Actual result:
'Basketball' is selected.

Describe the bug
In a scenario of a DropDownList with virtualization and a valuePrimitve set to true, the selected value disappears if the data in the popup is scrolled.

To Reproduce

1. Open this StackBlitz example
2. Open the popup of the DropDownList and select 'Item 5'
3. Open the DropDownList again and scroll the data down

Expected behavior
The selected value of the DropDownList should not disappear when scrolling its data.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

https://stackblitz.com/edit/5yuap2-cjycwm?file=src/main.vue
open the dropdownlist
The popup is NOT aligned with the component

Expected behavior
the popup is aligned with the component
workaround - https://stackblitz.com/edit/5yuap2-f2kb5l?file=src%2Fmain.vue

Describe the bug

When filtering the DropDownList data, if both the value and the data-item-key properties are defined for the component, an error appears in the browser's console. Once the error appears, the popup of the component cannot be closed.

To Reproduce

1. Open this StackBlitz example
2. In the DropDownList, search/filter for something that doesn't exist. The point here is to get the 'NO DATA FOUND' template displayed.
3. Once that 'NO DATA FOUND' is displayed then delete the searched text

Expected behavior
The DropDownList should continue to work with no issues no matter the combination of properties configured for it.
