It's annoying to click on a button that my mind has been programmed to think it's the OK button, then the Help window pops up! Then I've to close the unwanted window, see where the OK button really is, and click again. I think somebody recently moved the buttons, since I've encountered this dialog box many times before and never faced this problem till now. When an LO dialog box has its buttons at the bottom, the OK button is universally on the left most, EXCEPT for the Text Import dialog box, where it is on right most. To activate that dialog box, 1. Copy a few lines of text, e.g.: ch.june@yaaho.com lam88@yaaho.com keow@yaaho.com [not real addresses] 2. Paste (Ctrl-V) on an empty cell in Calc. Notice the position of boxes below, and compare them with other dialog boxes.
Could not reproduce the issue myself on the latest master, but; Caolan, adding you to CC, maybe you have info about the matter. Kumāra, could you give more info about how to get that dialog box again? Or a screenshot would be useful. Thanks in advance.

yeah, I plan to eventually follow the platform order for these buttons, but for now they should still follow the same ordering as the pre-layout convention. I think this one went awry when it was converted from vertical ok/help/cancel buttons to horizontal ones.

Thought I'd have to be patient with this till then, thank you very much for picking this up,
btw these sort of things are super easy to fix these days, just fire up glade and edit the relevant .ui
