Keep primeng multiselect open on scroll

I have a primeNG multiselect (p-multiselect) as part of a component library, which we're adding into a report with many other multiselects to create filters. Since upgrading to Angular 12, whenever a user scrolls outside of the report, the filter closes. We'd like the filter to remain open. I've tried appendTo="body" (results in no change in behavior) and [appendTo]="container" (misplaces the overaly on the page entirely) on a containing div, but the desired behavior is still not achieved. Is this possible with primeNG now, to keep the overlay open on scroll?

Seems this is happening due to the inner scroll-listener strategy, there is no option to modify it, best you can do is to unsubscribe, so the close event won't activate on scroll.

<p-multiSelect #multiSelector> </p-multiSelect>

You can get the reference of your multi-select instance using ViewChild

import { MultiSelect } from 'primeng/multiselect';
@ViewChild('multiSelector') multiSelector: MultiSelect;

Then

  ngAfterViewInit(): void {
    this.multiSelector.onPanelShow.subscribe(() => {
      this.multiSelector.unbindScrollListener();
    });
  }
