The manage fields page has a table that combines existing fields with a widgety row to make a new field.
The columns look wrong -- things in the existing fields don't line up with things in the new field widgets.
In the screenshot, what appears to be grouped into columns is in red boxes.
The green wobbly bits are how they are actually related -- data type for existing fields, and data type for new fields; and also widget for existing and widget for new.

yched commentedYou want to avoid whitespaces in the names of attached files, generates broken links.
This being said, that's broken indeed, wrong colspans.
Attached patch should fix this.
Comment #2
eojthebraveMuch better. Simple change. This one is ready.

Bojhan commentedNow looked at this patch 5 times, looked at the screenshot and then at my own install. Any idea why on mine it looks like.

Going from your screenshot though, the edit and delete links seem somewhat cramped.

webchickHere's what it looks like for me (since that first screenshot is not linking properly):
Before: http://img.skitch.com/20091024-8nqhm1tgnnk33x47p9if1phum3.png

Bojhan is right that the operations column gets a bit crampy, esp when compared to the normal "Content types" screen (http://img.skitch.com/20091024-mnf5c6atjy727gukmhaeen4e84.png) where they actually look too spread out, at least to me.
However, I think overall this is a vast visual improvement, and will cut dramatically down in the confusion of what is being asked for on this screen.
Therefore, committed to HEAD. Thanks!
