Component settings modal can appear outside the viewport

Hi! In the Editor, after adding a component (e.g. to a layout) and opening its settings, the component settings modal can sometimes be positioned too high, with its top part outside the viewport.
Because of this, it may be impossible to:
- drag/move the modal,
- copy the component alias,
- access some component settings.
This usually happens for components with a large number of settings.
Workaround: resizing the modal by dragging its left or right edge makes it reposition itself correctly within the viewport.
