User control panel > Add user issues with validation errors

[stevepiercy]

Describe the bug

When adding a user in the User control panel, and when any error occurs, the submit button doubles up.

Additionally one must scroll the panel to view any error messages, and it is not obvious that there may be a problem.

To Reproduce

1. Login as admin/admin on https://demo.plone.org/
2. Go to the User control panel https://demo.plone.org/controlpanel/users
3. Click + to add a new user.
4. Fill in details but leave the password field blank.
5. Submit the form.
6. Scroll to the top to observe the following screenshot.
   

Expected behavior
Show the errors in some manner that does not require the user to scroll. Auto-scrolling would be OK, but might not be the best option.

[stevepiercy]

@barelysomethin I don't know.

Also please read and follow First-time contributors, especially Things not to do, Contributing to Plone, and Contributing to Volto.

@stevepiercy yeah, it is not obvious. I have a idea of adding toast or alert so that the error can display right after submitting form without scrolling to top. Can you assign to me?

[stevepiercy]

@Srihari2222 no, we don't assign issues, but you can claim it for yourself. See First-time contributors, especially Item 1 in Things not to do.
