Error notices in the editor can be "unnoticed" if you've scrolled the editor

[eri-trabiccolo]

Reproduction Steps

• edit form
• scroll the editor a little bit
• generate a field validation error, e.g.:
  create a field with name "ab"
  create another field and try to set its name to "ab"

Expected Behavior

• I'd expect to see the error notice informing me about the fact I cannot use the same name twice

Actual Behavior

• The last character of the name attribute gets stripped to fix the name duplication, an error notice is printed at the top of the editor but I can't see it unless I scroll back to the top

I think this is a Gutenberg/WP 5.8 "regression" although it's "blessed" as an acceptable casualty so we may have to adjust our validation message strategy given the change, I've raised an issue about this and I'm not going to make any changes until we have an answer there: WordPress/gutenberg#32593

Hows this look at @eri-trabiccolo

[eri-trabiccolo]

@thomasplevy that's the way

The core issue should be resolve in GB at some point (see WordPress/gutenberg#32488) and 2082ccc fixes the inciting incident warranting this bug report, however we are still using notices in this way to handle the require blocks for each form type. I don't see a good way to convert them to inline warnings like this so I'm going to leave this open for the time being as a reference for the future

Mmm right, ai forgot about the required blocks...
Although the difference with that would be that it pops only on save... I wonder if there's a way to hook there and, in case, scroll the editor pane to the top...
