Minor bug: Option dialogue - incomplete information

The explanatory text in the option dialogue is incomplete. For example, in the "file list double clickbehaviour" in the "ExternalPrograms" tab, it says that we can use [File] to insert the file name, but it doesn't explain about other fields to insert, as we can see from the following screenshot:

We can also see that the "Current Right-Click 'OpenWith' Application" only has a text field, but no button to browse the file system. This is maybe not a bug, but still, having the possibility to choose an application using the windows file dialogue would be convenient here.

Also, in the "Replace" tab of the options, we see the sentence "Create .BAK (backup) files when", but it doesn't say *when* it is supposed to create them. This can be seen at the following screenshot:

All these issues are due to TextCrawler not handling large text sizes in windows correctly.
If you change the windows text size to Normal, you should be able to read the dialogs correctly.
I hope to get this fixed in the next release!

-[Line] sends the line number of the first hit in that file to the application
-The BAK files are created when replacing
-The Open With.. Application can be set from the context menu by right clicking on file in the file list.

I just installed 2.3.0.0, since the release notes say that larger fonts would now be handled correctly, but the text looks still messed up in the same way as in version 2.2...
