Previously, when a dashboard widget (e.g., a metric or graph widget) was configured without host/service filter selections, the missing filters warning message covered the edit controls (edit, clone, delete, and resize handles), making them inaccessible.

The edit controls are now rendered independently of the warning message overlay, so all action buttons and resize handles remain fully accessible even when a filter warning is displayed. Additionally, elevated z-indexes used during edit mode are now properly reset when leaving edit mode, preventing widgets from overlapping hover popups.
