> Borland buttons

Wow, you unlocked a memory. In case somebody doesn't remember, or doesn't know, the style of Borland buttons, here's a screenshot: https://sourceforge.net/p/owlnext/wiki/Replacing_usage_of_BW...

Some more screenshots on this page: https://www.drbob42.com/delphi/findmapc.htm

(Look at all those misaligned icons/labels in the Tool Options screenshot!)

On the contrary, they seem to be placed like that on purpose.

Agreed. Note the increased spacing to separate the generic "Help" button from the others that are specific to the dialog box. Aligning the buttons to the text input fields would break this separation and it could also give the false impression that the buttons were related to the input fields.
