Multifield components like list: validation message and up/down arrows for item movement have overlapping field

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary:

On multifield component dialog: add sufficient space between the validation alert and the up/down arrows so each can be individually selected.

This is a bug fix. 
Use-case:

When a user makes an error in the list component, eg by not filling a mandatory field, they cannot view the validation message that would tell them what to fix, because when they click it, they click into the field to drag items up and down. It is impossible to select the validation alert. 

Current/Experienced Behavior: As above - user cannot select or read validation alert to know what to fix. 
Improved/Expected Behavior: Sufficient space between the validation alert and the up/down errors so their selection field does not overlap. Then a user can click and read the validation message and / or click and move items up and down.

Hi@natalieco4 

 

Are you sure this is not some custom validation that your code has and maybe because of that is doing the overlapping ? I am not saying that is not possible to happen ootb, but I have not seen this before. I can try out on a simple boilerplate project and come back with a result. But until then maybe it's also worth if you double check your codebase.

Am checking with my team but we were fairly sure this was OOTB and we didn't touch it in order to avoid customising.
