Work Around 1:
To see the save button, the page can be zoomed out to view the save button. It can be achieved in 2 ways.
Way 1
Open Internet Explorer, View --> Zoom --> Custom
Enter the Percentage zoom field as 95 manually (you can use the up and down arrows to select the zoom %) --> Click OK.
Temp solution is after editing page to reduce the zoom level from 100% to 75% and then back again and the buttons reappear however this has to be done by all users upon every edit.
Way 2
Open Internet Explorer
Press and hold Ctrl button on Keyboard and Scroll the mouse down to view the Save button.
Stop scrolling once the Save button is seen.
Work Around 2:
To resolve the purpose and be able to access the save button:
Using the tab button should move the control to the SAVE button showing the button
Use keyboard shortcut, ctrl + s to save the page
This should resolve the purpose and be able to access the save button.
