By now, EMF Compare has half a dozen preference pages. Unfortunately, there are lots of tiny differences in the layouts that make them unsightly:

* "Engines"
    - vertical gap between label and viewer is too large
    - viewer is indented (why?), but the description for the selected
      engine is not
    - description should have same background as the tab items

* "Filters"
    - margin too wide
    - viewer is indented (with a smaller indentation as in "Engines"),
      but the description for the selected engine is not
    - border around filter viewer and description is unnecessary
        - add a vertical gap between the filter viewer/description and
          "Automatic behavior" instead

* "Filter" with the new active/enabled tab items
    - introduction is wrapped with hard line endings, which looks ugly
      (spaces at the line starts, short lines, ...) if the dialog is
      resized
        - remove all \n in the texts, add a GridData with
          HORIZONTAL_FILL and a width hint, and the labels will
          be wrapped just fine

* "Groups"
    - margin too wide
    - description should have same background as the tab items
    - same unnecessary border around filter viewer and description as
      in "Filters", but the label for this group is outside the border
      this time
          - use a vertical gap between the group and "Automatic 
            behavior" instead

* "Item Groups"
    - page name should use title case
    - beveled border (from an SWT Group), which visually separates
      the label and viewer from the description
    - viewer (or rather the containing group) is indented in relation
      the accompanying description

* "Logging"
    - unnecessary border and label (the page is already titled "Logging")

* "Post Processors"
    - viewer is indented

* "Resolution strategy"
    - page name should use title case
