How do you tell users the way of scrolling has been changed? Users have been scrolling using the edges of the touchpad for years. You can't just change this to two-fingers scroll. If the edges don't work in a new release of Ubuntu, they'll think the developers screwed up the touchpad drivers and

You've fixed this bug by swapping both buttons. Now Save As is on the left side and Close without Saving is on the right side. In my opinion that's not the correct way of fixing the bug. The focus should be moved from the left button to the right button. Having Save As on the left side and Close
