Bug Description

I open dconf-editor and open org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences. To the right I see the list of options to modify, and below that is the help text and other info.

If I select raise-on-click, the help text is large enough that it expands to cover most of the options available, including the one my cursor is on. In this case, the options list should scroll to keep the active option visible. Otherwise, if I decide I want to click it, I need to select another option to make it visible again (due to smaller help text) or scroll the option list to see it and select it.
