Bug or Feature ?

It will be debated if this is a feature. From a UX perspective it is a bug, because it is poor usability. If you do not agree, feel free to downgrade this to a feature request.

Closely related is a matter of taste, whether the save button belongs "inside" or "around" the dialog content. If debate becomes too hot, make it configurable/switchable.

Start by reproducing the Edit row dialog in the Tables app and inspect the HTML around the div.row containing the Save button and div.dialog__actions. The issue is done when the Save action remains visible and accessible without scrolling through the dialog.
