Thanks for the feedback.
We moved to the pop-up being above the button to better manage the horizontal space of the status bar.
Having the buttons float above the workspace is also part of the deliberate design choices for the v5 UX.
I agree the collision with the scrollbar isn't ideal. We will take that feedback on board to see how it can be improved.

I think the floating panel and scrollbar design does more harm than good. it is just confusing to have small lines and colors in between and on the side of the panels and scrollbars
also, it makes it harder to see the scrollbars
The gaps are to small to bring any usefull information.
And bigger gaps would take up valuable screen space.
Better to remove all gaps around all panels
