genus and family dropdowns don't allow scrolling through all entities for Plantae parquet

[tmesaglio]

1. Choose Plantae parquet and select Wategora Reserve as the preloaded place
2. Click in genus bar and start to scroll down
3. You can't scroll any further than Celtis

For Smiths Lake, you can get down to Dysoxylum before it stops
Fowlers Gap stops at Zaleya
Mount Annan stops at Casuarina
Grants Beach stops at Desmodium
North Head stops at Ceramium

The family lists are also affected for plants:

Wategora - Ricciaceae
Smiths Lake - Zosteraceae
Fowlers - Zygophyllaceae
Mount Annan - Rhacocarpaceae
Grants Beach - Zosteraceae
North Head - Salicaceae

from a very brief check, seems like the other parquets are not affected

bug initially found by Nick Lambert

it is also now clear to me that there are many genera and families missing from the 'middle' of the list, ie not just the ones after the final name that can be scrolled to

random example I found: Sparganium. It's in the ALA, and there are record of it that can be retrieved via the app (see #62), yet it doesn't appear in any of the genus dropdown lists

[tmesaglio]

so in summary, the choose a genus and choose a family dropdown menus are missing many, many valid taxa that should be there; they neither appear in the list by default, and they cannot be retrieved by searching either

this is probably the result of a default setting deep in here: https://selectize.dev/docs/usage. the dropdown thing is set up to try to avoid crashing the browser by allowing 1000's of options and i think there are some tricks to limit the choices in that case

the genus menu needs to be a reactive too then...I've definitely seen taxa in dropdown that don't exist in buffer

[wcornwell]

genus menu is reactive but i think the javascript thing "selectize.js" is very afraid of >1000 options, so it aborts displaying everything in certain cases in a confusing way. My guess is that this is to prevent crashing phones. i'll try to read more...

[wcornwell]

thought about this more, and taxa lists have to be reactive to allow for changing from plants to butterflies, etc.
