Comment 5 for bug 1296978

Yes, the Apply button should be consistent. Either have it or don't have it, but don't mix settings on the same form where some are applied immediately and others aren't.

The issue of being able to recover would be solved by 1) auto-revert and 2) put the settings in a vbox widget so that if the content of the window exceeds the vertical boundary it automatically gets a vertical scroll bar (that is going to be an issue in general, for every window, when you allow the user to scale the UI up beyond what the developer is using - don't forget that for users with bad eyesight it is common to scale the UI up to what developers with good eyesight would consider ridiculous levels - even at these levels the UI should be functional, instead of making sections of the window unusable by plotting them offscreen and providing no way for the user to scroll there.)
