[Andrew Woodward <xarses@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another issue is the constant scrolling to get to the save/apply or deploy
/run buttons, as well as moving away from a page with changes. I've already
created bug [1] for this.

I would note that in Bogdan's mockups there is still large space when the
hints are removed, removing them is useless if the space isn't removed too.
(Hopefully it's just a mockup issue)
