Some more realignment needed on the Images and Links tab too.

It gets even worst for non english languages, e.g. Greek:

thats why I closed it - dont want to open a can of worms even though you have the WHOLE WIDTH of the page to use, for some reason Joomla likes the first column to be as wide as a postage stamp :(

@PhilETaylor But YOU ARE RIGHT. And someone has to point all these crap otherwise will never be fixed

Isn't this exactly what the ux team is for?

@brianteeman can you show me one (1) PR from that group?

Now where have I heard that before...

Doesn't mean that people without a badge or team membership cannot comment or hold people to account ... hell, Trump is President(elect) now... anything is possible...

And ... i was going to say that for translations e.g. german or greek this effect appears more often

and it will always be not aligned,

  • unless it is decided to limit their width and allow wrapping of long labels
  • or it is decided to use a different placement, e.g. placing the label on top of the field

opinion, limiting labels width is a lot better than this miss-alignment effect

No. I was merely pointing out that we have such a group led by cliff and I
would expect it to be something thry would be looking at.

@brianteeman that was rhetorical question, I already know the answer. Said that shouldn't be a way to evaluate group/people's work and either assign or remove badges/memberships etc? This is supposed to be open source and I would expect some some clarity on such matters. I am dreaming again...

I won't say I like this

or it is decided to use a different placement, e.g. placing the label on top of the field

@ggppdk this would be fine for me, also it's an easy change
