I am not sure what might have happened in the case of the dropdown positioning issue - if we dropped the ball on it, I apologise. There is certainly a ticket for that issue now.

On the spacing, per my previous answer: we lifted the content off the end of the browser window, but putting more spacing within the edit area itself is more challenging (though still desired). Our fix for the dropdown issue will be unrelated.
