Jump to field dialog hint overlaps suggestion list, ignores hovered suggestion, and pushes buttons out of view #17060

Description

@adeifv

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.

The "Field will be created" hint in the JumpToFieldDialog has three problems:

  1. Hint hidden behind suggestion list.
  2. Hint pushes OK/Cancel buttons out of the dialog.
  3. Hint not synced with the selected suggestion. for example, If the user types t, the suggestion list shows title (among others) so you hover it, but the hint still appears.
    (i.e. t alone is not a field name but highlighted suggestion is an existing field)
    The hint should reflect what will actually happen on confirm, (i.e. it should disappear when a suggestion from the list is hovered that corresponds to an existing field)

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideas

  • Move the hint label above the text field
  • Allow the dialog to auto-resize so the hint appearing/disappearing never clips the button bar.
  • Sync the hint visibility with the currently hovered suggestion in the auto-completion popup, not just the raw text field content. If the highlighted suggestion is an existing field, hide the hint; only show it when the actual resulting action would create a new field.
