On smaller screens I think that it is impossible to create two columns in the form and still be able to see everything clearly. Ultimately it's kind of a toss up between causing an annoyance to experienced users or making the form less usable for new users. The severity of the second problem is greater in my opinion.

Do you think that this is reasonable (vertical space issue)? To me it doesn't seem like a huge enough problem for me to be worth spending the amount of time it would require to change it especially considering the
many
other things of greater importance that I still have to do.
I'm not really sure, that's why I did not join this discussion. On my travel notebook, I need to scroll down four times to see all options of SQL export (I need two pages using the original code). On the other side I really don't remember last time using them, so the "Quick" mode works fine for me and there everything fits perfectly on the screen.
While thinking more about that I don't really see reason for compacting the advanced options, but that might be just mine idea.
PS: Moving the discussion back to phpmyadmin-devel list, because I don't feel this needs to be private.
