The floating toolbar, which keeps the "save" button at the top of the screen if the user scrolls down, should be added to the item edit page so that the user is not required to scroll to the bottom to make changes midway through the page.
Created attachment 50965 [details] [review] Bug 11089: Add floating save button to item edit screen It was agreed in Bug 11088 that the floating save panel is used when there are no other controls which need to be displayed in a toolbar. Thought it could be applied here. To test: 1) Apply 11088 first 2) Apply this patch 3) Go to edit an individual item 4) Confirm that Save panel floats in bottom right corner of page and stays in this position when browser is made to be narrower or wider Sponsored-by: Catalyst IT

I personally don't like the floating button (same comment as on bug 11088). Especially since we can have the 2 ways to display buttons on the same view: when editing 1 item (floating button) and when adding a new item (old view with 3 buttons).
Please see bug 16400 before QAing this patch.
(In reply to Jonathan Druart from comment #5) > Please see bug 16400 before QAing this patch. I guess I cast my vote by QAing 16400 - the styling seems more consistent. This feels slightly odd when the button floats above the items table on a record with a lot of items, perhaps if switched to the toolbar lock the highest point to the top of the form and only scroll down? That may be only personal opinion
Since bug 16400 is pushed, do we ask for another patch using a floating toolbar?
