Bug Description

As you can see on the attached screenshot the confirm button is not visible when the keyboard appears.

In my opinion we should avoid use dialog with input fields, this can be very difficult to handle since there is no scroll on dialog, and there is no way to move it.

Unfortunately, avoiding dialogs with input fields wouldn't solve the problem: especially in landscape mode, dialog contents can be taller than the screen regardless of whether they contain input fields or not.

The solution is that the body area of dialogs should scroll -- this has been in the toolkit spec for months. <http://goo.gl/KqqGBe> (currently Canonical-only link)

setting the setting side as invalid, that's bug #1368346 (not marking duplicate because of the uitoolkit issue)

I don't think this has anything to do with bug 1368346. That bug has buttons appearing on top of other fields in a full-screen page in the setup. This bug has buttons not appearing at all inside a (non-full-screen) dialog.
