Description Adam Dingle 2013-04-27 16:23:34 UTC 
We should make a few text fixes in the Preferences dialog:

- The tab "Folder comparisons" should be titled "Folder Comparisons".

- The labels that group sections of preferences pages ("External editor", "Shallow comparison" and so on) should use Header Capitalization for consistency with GNOME interface guidelines.

- The text at the top of the the File Filters and Text Filters pages wraps strangely.  On File Filters it uses ragged wrapping to a fixed width, and on Text Filters it uses fixed-width wrapping which is not ragged (which looks quite strange).  Both cases are wrong: it should wrap to the width of the dialog.  To see this done right, look at the text under Icon Captions in the Display tab of Nautilus's preferences dialog.
Comment 1 Kai Willadsen 2013-04-27 20:37:13 UTC 
The first two points are done.

Fixing the text wrapping requires (to the best of my understanding) height-for-width geometry only available in GTK 3. I'm going to have to make a tracking bug for all of the random things that can only reasonably be fixed by a GTK3 port.
Comment 2 Kai Willadsen 2014-05-24 01:06:38 UTC 
As far as I can tell, this was basically fixed with the GTK 3 migration, but I've gone and fixed other bits of the layout on those panes anyway, so they now fit in with the rest of the preferences UI.

Thanks for the bug report.
