WiFi network settings widget fails to adjust layout to display the cancel/save buttons #792

In Settings > Network & Wireless > WiFi, I can inspect and edit each network's settings. However, the changes are never saved. A GUI widget appears when I follow the network's context menu to "Settings," but there is no save, apply, etc. button, and exiting the widget feels like it should save the changes, but following the same path to re-open the widget always shows the original, default settings.

I discovered the hidden buttons. They are visible if the tiled widget window is moved to a workspace where there's sufficient vertical space to display them.

This is a fine workaround, but I'm confident the network settings widget should respond to the available dimensions of the tile with a functional layout or, as a last resort, a scrollbar so that the vital, hidden controls may be accessed.

Another alternative is to politely refuse to display anything in the tile when it is too small to function, i.e., with a helpful message like "Increase window size to enable."

That separate window that opens for advanced network settings isn't a COSMIC component, so it might not be possible to do anything about the window contents not supporting smaller sizes.
There will eventually be an option in Window management settings to choose what happens when a window is opened below minimum size (Stack with active window / Float window / Launch on new workspace).
That window could also potentially be added to tiling exceptions.
