Description Leonid Grinberg 2008-10-13 01:20:41 UTC 
There are a number of things wrong with the gnome-dictionary "Look up" button. Since it is to the left of the text-field, completely flat, and has a mnemonic (pressing Alt-u activates it), it looks like a label indicating the function of the text-field, and that pressing Alt-u will bring focus to that field. This isn't necessarily a bad use for it, but if it is to remain a button, it should be placed on the right side of the text-field (as, for instance, buttons in web browsers often are) and, ideally, made to look more obviously like a button (i.e. not be flat).

Lookup button moved to the right of the entry field and made to look like a button (normal relief)
