Node edit form with 100+ fields, form actions displayed between fields

The patch still applies to latest 7.x branch. I tested it, and I did not find any issue.

Thanks for reporting and working on this.

In Drupal 7 there is no UI to manage form display (similar as in D10). So most of the sites are using hook_form_alter() to move form elements up/down and achieve the changes in the order. Maybe there are also contrib modules doing something similar.

I agree this is a bug, but I think we cannot change the default weights in this D7 phase, because a lot of sites simply rely on the current settings (and have done custom changes based on this default settings). I would say there is a way more sites using hook_form_alter() to move form elements than sites with 100+ node fields. And this change would cause their node forms to re-arrange, so it could have a big impact. If someone wants to change this, it is easy and can be done using the hook_form_alter().

Closing this as Won't fix. Thanks again for your effort here.
