I bet you are testing on wxGTK? My very limited playing with wxWidgets
has shown horrible layout on wxGTK, even though it may be fine on
wxWin32. Qt has proven to work much better in that regard.

To the actual issue, it would be fine to place button lower edge on the
same level as preview area lower edge and also line with right hand edge
of the description box etc.

Kicad is full of wonky dialogs, but I would put some of the blame on the
tools, not the workmanship.

Hey, did I already say you component chooser is _brilliant_!
