Public bug reported:

The 'Logging Active' button in the bottom right corner is confusing.
When I tried out the history manager for the first time, I went through
each tab, and after that intuitively aimed for the Apply button - which
turns out to disable logging instead.

If no confirmation is needed for changes to apply, I suggest to put a
Close button at the bottom. Otherwise I'm struggling to close the
dialogue.

And have either a real toggle button to globally disable  logging, or
call it "Disable logging" to make it clearer what it does. And move it
into the dialogue content area.
