Webform UI module: "+Add element" button is missing from elements listing page

Problem/Motivation

Every time I go to add an element to a webform, I'm baffled by the lack of an "+ Add element" button on the fields listing under Build > Elements. I end up going to the Source tab, copy/pasting the yml from another form that has the element I need, and then returning to the Elements listing to edit the component as needed.

I always search for documentation on how to add a form element, and find references to this "+ Add element" button in various places. I'm a developer (admin role) on this site, so I know it's not a permissions issue.

I have also noticed that I am able to add the elements I need by hacking the URL. For example: If I add element/add/fieldset to the end I am able to add a fieldset to the form.

I'm not sure why this button is not present, but it should be available as part of Webform UI as long as the user has sufficient permissions.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable webform and webform UI modules
2. Edit existing webform
3. Go to "Build" tab
4. Go to "Elements" sub-tab
5. Attempt to add a new element.
