Update dialog looks a bit weird with a lot of unused space on the right side.

Otherwise, haven’t found any critical issues yet.

I have discovered a problem with the search dialog.
When a search is performed for “Find in Files” and 0 matches occur, the “Find All” button is not reactivated.
This does not happen with 7.9.3

Workaround: Either restart the dialog or press one of the buttons in the tab bar.

Maybe it’s related to that, but it also happens if you just open the Find dialog,
then focus on something else and return to the dialog -> the Find All button is disabled.
