I understand that this is a general rule of dialogs in LyX. However,
please consider an exception to this rule for the quick search and
replace dialog.
No.
That's hard to reason with. All apps I checked have the checkboxes
aligned to minimize space.
BTW your patch (in the following message) does not apply to master.
If you remove your patch it should apply fine.

Merry Christmas to you too!

I really like your critical approach. I think it is beneficial for the
development of LyX.
But I hope you understand that I question something if I have seen it
differently in many other parts of or up until now in LyX or in many
other applications. And if I put my work and thought into something,
then it leaves me frustrated when I get a "Thanks, but no." without
further explanation. Maybe you don't have time to explain things but
please say so if that is the case, then I can make a decision of whether
something is worth my possible frustration. It might also be beneficial
to clarify what the rules are. For example,
If it is best practice to put button boxes at the bottom of a dialog,
then if a dialog has a button box it has to be at the bottom.
If that is the rule LyX by which you operate, then I can understand your
reaction. Though I strongly disagree with the rule since best practices
should be broken for good reasons.
I can also understand that you don't explain your decision against
something if no reason has been given in favour of it. It might be too
time consuming to explain everything proactively.
I hope clarifying this will help.
Daniel
