HEAD

The 'Show Whitespace Characters' dialog should have 'Restore Defaults' and 'Disable All' buttons. 'Enable All' is IMO not necessary, since it's the same as 'Restore Defaults' (but the latter can also restore the alpha level if bug 172018 gets fixed).

By the way, currently the 'Restore Defaults' button on the General > Editors > Text Editors page also restores the defaults in the dialog.

This is similar to behavior for the dialog General > Capabilities > Advanced. And this dialog has 'Enable All' and 'Disable All' buttons...

Along with 'Restore Defaults' there must also be an 'Apply'. With these 3 more buttons the dialog looks ugly and cluttered. Plus adding these buttons is an overkill.

Closing as WONTFIX.
