[sdk] Dialog doesn't take the contents size into consideration

Jonas, there is a recent fix on dialog content resizing, could you please check whether that fixes this bug as well? The fix is at the bug #1337556

Bug 1337556 is a different issue, it doesn't address the problem of the dialog extending beyond the screen size.

This issue will probably be resolved by putting the dialog contents into a flickable so it can scroll.

Question for design, in this use case, is the dialog what we want to use? Another option is to push a new Page on the PageStack.

It helps. But it does not address the issue in full.

I should not answer this, but I'd like to speculate. :)

If you put content in a Dialog, you can force the user to make an action
before continuing. The page stack pattern is associated with a back button
which may not fit the narrative.

"You need to enter a password [complete] [cancel action]"

An action to go back is a bit unclear in this case.

It is unlikely, but possible for a dialog to exceed the available height. The wi-fi is a good example where it could happen if there's a large amount of networks.

In general we should advise avoid against dialogs for large amount of information, but sometimes it might be necessary.

I am testing silo 13 and this bug is not fixed. I showed that to Christian as well.

The fix in the UITK is being compromised by the hack in the Wifi plugin in the System Settings to work-around OSK anchoring problems. I attached a branch that demonstrates that the dialog scrolls fine. As long as the security selector is expanded the password entry is inaccessible.

The only remaining issue is that the password field may need scrolling to become visible; I'm not sure where that should be addressed but it's not preventing the user from filling in the password.
