Citing this study:

http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2006/07/label-placement -in-forms.php

Based the New and Noteworthy screenshots it appears e4 has chosen the
least effective form Label alignment strategy for form generation (I.E.
left aligned). Right alignment - would be a step in the "right"
direction and would make e4 a bit more polished.

Sorry to be so direct but I'm still amazed this layout faux paus still
happens so often.

Is it too late to be fixed before 1.0???

Right align is not a problem to implement. I'm not sure about putting
the label above because we have much more horizonzal space than vertical
so making the user scroll is even worse I think.

Yep.

The M5 New and Noteworthy

http://download.eclipse.org/e4/downloads/drops/S-1.0M5-20100 4111600/e4-news-M5.html

At

least it's consistently wrong :-) Tells me it should be easier to remedy.

Ron

Hi,

Did you filed a bugzilla yet? I guess we should dicuss this with a wider
committer audience because as you suggested we should be consistent.
