Dialogs shall immediately grow to fit the height of the form of the current step. In order to avoid too much jiggle in the user interface, however, a form only decreases in height, if the form it has to accommodate is smaller than two thirds its current height. If a dialog chooses to not reduce its height, the superfluous space is added between the last field of a form and any possibly showing notification message or else above the bottom edge of the form frame. E.g. in case of step 3 in the mockup above, this space would be added between the "\[UX:change\]" link and the edge of the form frame. Any shown [UX:notification|#Notifications] would be shown after the space, but still before the edge. |
