Research direction

Start by reproducing the screen share prompt in Element Desktop at a window height of about 730px during a 1:1 call or embedded Element Call. Inspect the prompt's scroll areas and verify that the OK and Cancel buttons remain visible without a nested scroll area when the fix is complete.
