Noticed in audit that #8419 had added docs for a "gotcha" in regards to the hidden select causing scrolling. I'd rather we fix this by default instead. In this case, we can use
position: fixedon the visually hidden element so it is positioned within the viewport and doesn't cause scrolling. This works because the visually hidden element is alsoaria-hidden, so positioning it at the top of the page doesn't affect the screen reader cursor placement.
