Comment (by tar.gz):

 Some comments regarding the new layout:

 (1) - The image preview is now using the "Large size", which defaults at
 1024 px width. On a typical 1440x900 laptop screen, this forces the user
 to scroll in order to reach the text fields.

 If we assume that in many cases, the user comes here to edit the fields
 rather than for viewing the image in large size, then this layout is not
 the most practical.

 Here is how it looks with a large image:

 And here is a mockup of a more compact layout, that I find much more
 usable:

 - I think the image preview doesn't need to be bigger, since we aren't
 editing the image here.
 - I find it more coherent to have the Title field close to the other text
 fields.

 (2) - An other minor issue: the file URL field is now much narrower than
 previously. I think that it should allow for line breaks, in order to have
 the full URL visible. And a nice touch would be if by clicking on that
 string, the whole URL would get auto-selected.

 (3) - Finally, a question regarding the naming of "Caption" and
 "Description" (now "Attachment Page Content"): is there any official
 method for overriding those labels, such as we can override the labels for
 Posts and Pages (with change_post_object_label() /
 change_post_menu_label() in functions.php)?
