The buttons in the dialogs make it difficult to quickly navigating without reading, since the order differs, and the Text for aborting the current operation is not the same:

Browse Games:
================ Refresh | Back | Join Game

New Game:
Reset | Mod Settings ================ Generate | Close

Direct Connection:
================ Connect | Back

Load Game:
Map Exchange String | Sync Mods with Save ================ Load | Back

Please use the same order for the buttons in all dialogs (preferably the OS order, thus on Windows "OK | Cancel", not "Cancel | OK"), and use the same caption for at least the Back/Cancel/Close-Buttons, where possible. Also, it seems strange that the Refresh button is right aligned, although it doesn't close the dialog as the Back/Join buttons do.

Nothing of this describes a bug.

It's an objective flaw by current standards of user interface design -- there's a reason for Windows, Android, iOS et cetera having guidelines specifying correct button placement.

If you want to reserve the bug section for logic/software/programming bugs, please move it to ideas; but I don't see why definite user interface problems should be ignored.

Thanks for the feedback and specific cases of these inconsistencies

This is something we hope to address with the GUI rewrite, and the general polishings toward 1.0
