Improve pop up modals functionality and limit need to scroll

Hi everyone,

We would like to suggest improvements to the pop up modals on resource lists, such as when editing a list description or submitting a digitisation request.

Currently on a small screen such as a laptop, the whole of the modal is not viewable on the screen and users must scroll down in order to reach the rest of the form.

This is fine if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, but if you are using the laptop's touch pad, then this isn't possible. We have received comments from admin staff and lecturers that when they go to click the scroll bar at the side of the webpage it closes the pop up modal, and they aren't able to fill out the forms.

This also affects one member of our team who requires the screen to be zoomed in due to their eyesight issues.

Please could this functionality be looked at so that users without a scroll-wheel mouse can navigate the pop up modals effectively.

Best wishes,
