VisualEditor: Inspectors should not display below visible page area
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As an editor has pointed out on Mediawiki, the link dialog appears below the selected link. If an editor has selected text at the bottom of the visible page area, the dialog appears "below the fold" and the editor must scroll down to access it. Dialog should be forced to appear in the area currently visible when it is activated.

This is fixed for dialogs in gerrit 139550. It's not yet fixed for inspectors (which I suppose should scroll-into-view?).
