Screenshot - detail of Special:Preferenes

There is a serious layout problem in Special:Preferences, and a minor one.

Major:
As the attached screen shot shows, we have 3 labels to the left of
their respective input fields, and all others to the right.
This causes strange line wraps to appear wastes a lot of space,
and is bewildering for the average user.

All texts should be to the right of their respective inputs.

Even in normal English, you do not write e.g. "Rows: 80" but you write "80
rows"

Minor:
The last 3 items show that lines wrap underneath their respective
input fields. While this is of course acceptable, it might be
nicer, if they didn't.
