New description:

 - Currently, the layer editor uses fixed heights for its dialogs.  This
 means that if you add more than three rules to a style, you can not see
 the lower ones.

 - It is difficult to locate specific scale ranges, and I found the
 interface a bit non-intuitive.  I clicked on "Add Scale Range" and
 apparently nothing happened (it had, but I couldn't see it because it was
 below the fold).  I wonder if this would work better as a scale tree on
 the left and tabbed style definitions on the right?

 - I believe that it would be more intuitive to have the physical name of
 the column first, and the display name second in the properties dialog.
