[Patternfly] [PatternFly] Alignment of buttons within wizard

[Andres Galante]

You make a lot of sense Josephine. The right alignment actions are great on
the context of a modal since we know the width of the container.

But since patternfly is fluid having right alignment actions on a full
screen footer push the actions either too far or too close from the content.

I agree that in this examples the btns should be on the left, and for your
specific case this layout works.

Now, this wizard seems odd in a full page as a common component. When the
form is small, the actions are way too detached from the form, the eye jump
is huge. Having a footer fixes to the bottom of the screen can lead to
challenges in different screen sizes and the overall structure doesn't seem
not reusable enough.

The question is do we need to redesign the wizard to work in a  full page
environment?

Also how does this wizard behave on a mobile environment?
