Description
In the "Scheduling Templates" editor (/team/teamName/schedules):
With a windowed / not full screen browser -
If you click on "+ New Schedule" you can have several New Schedule elements open without realizing they are further down on the page (page doesn't scroll to element).
Same for clicking on "Edit" when you edit any of the templates you can click to edit the same template multiple times (probably shouldn't be allowed) and those also appear off the screen similar to +New Schedule behavior.
For folks who are not overtly tech savvy or have a web background they often don't think to scroll down or look around on the page so they open several of the same "New Schedule" forms or "edit templates" on the same page and now have many to close.
Just a heads up as this seems like a usability concern.

Research direction
Start at the Scheduling Templates editor route, /team/teamName/schedules, and reproduce the behavior in a windowed browser by using "+ New Schedule" and "Edit" repeatedly. Done should mean the page makes newly opened forms visible and prevents multiple edit forms for the same template from accumulating.
