Description
When editing a Wiki, we are presented with:
[ Save Changes ] [ Preview ] [ Cancel ]
When adding a comment to a ticket:
[ Reset ] [ Preview ] [ Submit Changes ]
When editing a milestone:
[ Save Changes ] [ Cancel ]
The order of these almost identical buttons should be consistent, whenever they occur in Trac. Furthermore, the labels used should also be consistent. For all these 3 cases, I would suggest:
[ Preview ] [ Save Changes ] [ Cancel ]

Sorry for the dupe.
I think "Preview" should be the default action, therefore should be on the right side.

In HTML forms, the default action is always the left-most button.

Fixed in [1665].
The milestone buttons are actually consistent with the wiki editing buttons, it just doesn't provide a preview function.
Otherwise I'd agree. The only question is whether [ Preview ] should really be first, because that automatically becomes the default action (which may very well be a good thing, but I'm not sure).
