 The `<html>` tag within `/wp-admin/` has the following CSS property:
 `height: 100%;`.

 This means that the current screen height is taken rather than actual page
 height.
 When you scroll down you can see that the absolute bottom of the `html`
 and `body` objects are cut short:

 The solution would be to remove the `height: 100%` CSS rule from `html`.
 `body { height: 100% }` is fine.

 Applications that want to make use of the page height can't calculate
 their position correctly through CSS and therefore they require JavaScript
 or other hacks (e.g. absolute positioning modals).
