Bug 13661 Labels and widgets too far apart in preference pages
Build: 20020411 Steps: 1. Click on Window->Preferences 2. Open Java->Editor or Java->Compiler The widgets used to select options (Combo boxes or color selection boxes) are right-aligned, and the labels are left aligned, leaving a large space between. This problem is magnified if the user opens a page that is wider than the default width, "stretching" the preference page dialog box. It takes more than a glance for the user to realize which labels line up with which widgets. See the Ant->Console page for an example of a better layout. In Ant->Console, the widgets are aligned, but appear closer to their labels.

					return i;
