Summary0017796: UI layout differences with advanced styles
DescriptionThe layout of various text edit advanced settins is very different depending on the places it appears - in the property palette vs in the style edit dialog.
See screenshot. Left is style dialog, right is PP. Placements are very different and dont seem to follow a clear logic.

Since these advanced options are... "technical" and since there is no label for each button (only a hint), user rely a lot on icons so as to choose. However small,
the icons help a lot, but having different placements in various places makes it much more difficult : when switching from one dialog to another, user has to re-discover the UI so as to find the required button and check it's really the required one - because everything looks different.

It would help a lot to have a clear and identical layout as much as possible wherever these icons appear.

See also the space width : a single percentage in dialog style, both a min and max value in PP... but that should be another #issue.
