34643	Move admin form labels to a more accessible place	Tom Carrick	Antoliny	"Currently, labels in admin forms are left aligned, so there's a gap between the label text and the input. This means there is usually a gap between the label and the input, which is a bit less usuable (it takes longer to associate the label with the input as your eyes move a bigger distance. This is made worse for users that use screen magnifiers, who may not be able to see the label and input at the same time.

There are two possibilities:

1. Move the labels above the form. This is a bit more standard, and it looks nicer, but some users may complain that they can see less on the screen as each field takes up more vertical space. This is what we currently do for mobile.

2. Align the text to the right. This way the label is next to the input. Trac uses this approach when creating a new ticket. It feels like an easier lift, but people may complain that it's uglier (I might agree, Trac gets away with it a bit because there's a lot of whitespace to the left of the labels.

Personally I prefer the first option, but I don't know if others have any suggestions.

It also might be tricky with for fields with non-standard widgets (date / time, horizontal filters, etc.)."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	contrib.admin	dev	Normal	fixed	accessibility	Paolo Melchiorre Thibaud Colas Sarah Abderemane Antoliny	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	1
