Leverage (or demo) ui-position for dropdown positioning
This is a suggestion instead of using a wrapping container with position:relative and a dropdown present for every textarea on the page which could incur a sizable performance cost (although leveraging ng-if will help stunt this cost for now).
I wrote a similar plugin way back and leveraged ui-typeahead's dropdown. Check it out: https://gist.github.com/amcdnl/d383c50a761b0d044381#file-template-html-L33 ( sorry the code is a bit of a mess ATM )
If this change is made I'd only request that you keep the option to have a relatively positioned list, I was just wrestling with the angular ment.io which is absolutely positioned and it's causing all kinds of formatting issues (pushes out the page on mobile widths, mentions in a modal form simply don't work etc)
