DSN screen UX

Description

I'm pretty sure this was the case in Railo too.

When I go to create a MySQL DSN, having named and selected "MySQL", the ensuing screen actively scrolls to halfway down the next form. I'm not quite sure why you decided to do this, because it scrolls off screen the stuff I actually need to fill out, which is at the top of the form. The point to which it scrolls seems to be the beginning of the optional stuff which, almost always, I am not interested in. Or would be fine to simply scroll down to should I need it.

TBH, so more more modern variation of how CFAdmin does it with "basic" settings on show and "advanced" settings hidden until they're asked for would be better here.

But the scrolling is def not at all helpful. Indeed it's actual a hindrance.

+1 for this as well. Also if your datasource addition fails for some reason, e.g. you entered the wrong password, it loses some, but not all, the settings in the "advanced" section.

+1. Yes, this was the case in Railo as well. Can't see any obvious reason why it should do that, and I wish it wouldn't.

scroll.png shows where it scrolls to. All the stuff I'm interested in is now "above the fold".
