Patron Registration long Field Documentation display issue

[Kyle Huckins]

In the Patron Edit/Registration field of the web client, when the field documentation string is too long, the div continues to flow horizontally, causing it to display underneath the z index of the patron registration fields, causing it to look a bit iffy and become partially unreadable. I've attached an image of the issue.

My gut leads me to believe this is a scaffolding issue.

I've pushed up a branch here that should resolve this: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/khuckins/lp1748277-patron-reg-long-field-doc

It rescaffolds the patron editor, letting Bootstrap handle a bit more of the layout, and brings the z-index of the patron alert's pane up to 3, in order to avoid issues with the datepicker and any other input fields under form control.

Patch didn't apply, but I was able to rebase it:

I note that with this patch, when you edit a new patron, the action bar is no longer fixed, though it remains fixed when you are editing an existing patron.

Also, perhaps eg-help-popover should be used nowadays; the existing mechanism for displaying field documentation predated that directive.

+1 to using the eg-help-popover instead

Removing pullrequest as this would be better served with eg-help-popover
