Welcome to the forum @arcana.

Are you using the latest version of the dashboard (1.30.0)?

Are you able to try a different browser to check whether it is a browser or cache related issue?

Please open the dashboard edit page and then open the developer tools console in the browser (this is F12 for several browsers) then change the size of one of the widgets and show us what you see in the developer console.

After several trial , it is caused by the UI is overflowing more than the dashboard can handle, but by adding a spacer the save button appear , just little trick to make the save button normal again .
