I think the bigger problem is that you had 5 lines with buttons - that 
and having the buttons at different places in each line is what makes 
your draft a shock therapy for UX experts ;-)

Especially the first two lines clearly don't need the text around the 
buttons - just [Add] [Modify] [Delete] [Print testpage] would be more 
than enough.

Yes, some pages are really funny. Let's hope the trend for 2015 is not 
"black text on black background", because black pages look so beautiful 
;-))

A "pity"?  That's a good one, you now owe me a beer for complaining :)
