Summary20768: Privilege selection is clumsy
Description

When choosing survey privileges for survey admins, modal selection is hard to understand.
Action buttons (save/cancel) are outside the bottom screen, you must scroll the whole page.
When you scroll the whole privileges list, you miss privileges labels. They are outside the upper screen.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

  1. install 7.6.0
  2. create a survey admin user
  3. create a survey
  4. assign one privilege to this user
  5. open advanced privileges modal window
  6. try to assign "read only participant" privilege

Expected result

While adding advanced privileges, modal window should scroll only its content.
Title and checkbox labels must stay visible.
Action button (save/cancel) must stay visible.

Actual result

Important usability elements disappear from screen.

Sorry but looks like we're pointing at two different behaviours.
This happens every time you assign "advanced" granularity privileges.

I can confirm in 7.x is missing the option to assign the whole set of privileges for each feature. But these are two different situations. Unrelated.

Yes, but it is still resolved with that patch.
