I can't attest to GUI layout conventions on other systems, but on Macs, the convention is the cancel is always to the left of a save button.

    Alright, technically, this issue was not available to be opened because it has not undergone CCB review, unless Anastasia has delegated responsibility in this issue. According to our updated procedures, an issue must have a milestone assigned by the CCB Leader before it can be taken up by a developer.

    I've been somewhat lax in this regard as well, so I think both of us should try and stick to the procedural order of operations better.
