Bug #1414
Enlarged Description Field Covers up Entry Buttons
Description
With the new update, it is possible to enlarge the description field until it covers the entry buttons. In that case they can't be used until the size of the field is reduced again.

This bug seems to have exist before but wasn't that obvious because the buttons were positioned more to the left in former versions, see e.g. in 5.5.1: https://demo.openatlas.eu/source/insert
The culprit seems to be the absolute positioning in /static/css/style.css
.table-cell textarea {
z-index: 1;
position: absolute;
}
If I remember correctly we implemented this because otherwise an expanded textarea would vanish below the map at e.g. place insert. Assigning to Christoph because I'm out of my depth there.

I noticed also that in forms that don't have a big description field (e.g. value types, see: https://demo-dev.openatlas.eu/types/insert/21160) the fixed label size:
label[for="description"] {
height: 8em;
}
which seems to prevent the buttons from vanishing below larger description fields, is making a large gap in the form.
Again the culprit seems to be the absolute positioning which seems to make more problems than it solves.

Moving it to the next version because of lack of frontend developer capacities. Sorry for the inconvenience.
