      Description

      When form validation fails it can be a bit unclear to the user. For example:

      1. Add a file resource without completing the name field.
      2. Click one of the save buttons.

      Result:

      On most screens the page refreshes but remains scrolled to the bottom where the error is not visible. It would be a usability improvement if the page scrolled to the first error.
