Description V Stuart Foote 2023-07-07 13:53:53 UTC 
Was looking at bug 151342 and think it would improve the Animation deck if the 'Play' button were repositioned to lead edge. Currently the button is placed after the 'Automatic Preview' checkbox, and the Play button can be shifted off screen as the deck is narrowed (enable 'MinimumWidth' expert config).

Either drop the checkbox to the next line, or swap order to give the button higher priority and remain visible.

With the default setup you always see the Play button (although covered with the horizontal scrollbar on some VCLs). I don't see a benefit in moving the button to the left.

By the same token, the check box and its 'Automatic Preview' string localization  will push the 'Play' button to the right varying amounts. Just swap the positions, or move the checkbox, to keep the 'Play' button prominent and also not need to deal with the scroll bars obscuring the button.

I like the suggestion.

The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting but didn't receive further comments. Let's do as suggested.
