Comment (by yourpalal):

 Yup, this was intentional. Although I agree the icon view is more related
 to the file type than it is to the preferred application, I set it up this
 way so that the mime type string has plenty of space, as before the
 preferred app menu was getting lots of space it didn't use. As for the
 right-aligned controls, these are done that way so that the buttons line
 up nicely with each other. I guess to achieve left-aligned controls, you
 could swap the icon view and the preferred app box.

 Also, this window wasn't resizing, according to #6449, which is the  bug I
 was fixing (referenced in the commit). In fact, the layout before this
 commit was not even the one that you have in the 'before' picture, it was
 a bit different, and can be seen in #6449.
