Kevin Menard commented on CAY-1083:
-----------------------------------
I'll look into the alignment issue.
As for the capitalization, there is an inconsistency. I advocate lower-casing the others. I think I left them upper-case because they were only 2 - 3 word labels, while my labels are much longer. I consulted the Gnome HIG [1] and they recommend using standard sentence capitalization in that case. According to the Java cross-platform HIG [2] and they recommend header capitalization, but all their examples are 1 - 2 word labels.
My personal feeling is that using header capitalization on a 5 word sentence is not the way to go. But, if it's what the Java HIG dictate, I'll concede.

> Just looked at the M4 "General" preferences panel. There are some visual inconsistencies - its options are all misaligned. "Save Interval" and "File Encoding" are aligned with each other. "Load last open project" checkbox is shifted to the right, "Always delete items without a prompt" is shifted to the right, but still not aligned with the previous option.
> Also label capitalization is inconistent. We are capitalizaing all label words in this panel and in other places. The last two options here are not capitalized.
