Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Bug.

What is the expected behavior?

Whenever I open a dialog, my page scrolls to the top.

What is the current behavior?

I would like my dialog to be instantiated at the center of what is currently in view.

What are the steps to reproduce?

Create a page with a long list, and open a dialog while at the bottom of the list.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

I would like to have a list, where each entry can produce a dialog.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?

Angular 2.1.0, @angular/material": "2.0.0-alpha.9-3, Chrome 54

Is there anything else we should know?

For future reference, this is caused by the .md-overlay-container being absolutely positioned. Switching it to fixed will fix it. It probably wasn't noticed, because all of the scrollable content in the demo app is within a position: fixed element.
