I spent some time testing the Preferences options. I couldn't test all of the options but most of them: In general I noticed that the case of the labels is not consistent (or I didn't see the rule). The labels are written in mixed case as in
   New Search Limit
and in lower case (except for the first character) as in
   New search limit
The other thing I noticed is that the tool labels (?) - the label displayed when the pointer hovers over an input field - are not given everywhere.

The options in details:
a) Accounts
   Typo: Reverse Balanced Accoutns
                          ^^^^^^^^
   Missing Tool Tip: Options under "Default Currency"

b) Business - not tested since I personelly don't use this feature
   Missing Tool Tip: "Open in new window"

c) Date/Time
   Date Format:  Use a different example (e.g. 07/31/2005). For the
                 given sample the format for Locale and US are identical
                 but should be
                  07/31/2005 vs. 7/31/2005
   Missing Tool Tip:  Locale, US, UK, ...

   I was wondering what the Time Format is used for?  I can't think of
   anything that displays the time.

d) General
   Missing Tool Tip: "Show close button on notebook tabs"

   I did not test the options "Files", "Search Dialog".
   Actually, I do not know what effect the "Search Dialog" should have.

e) Online Banking - not tested since my HBCI is not set up
   Missing Tool Tip: Use bayesion matching


f) Register
   Missing Tool Tip: 'Enter' moves to blank transaction
                     All check boxes under Graphics
   Option "'Enter' moves to blank transaction"
          According to the documentation for GC 1.8.11 the 'Enter' key
          enter should move the cursor to the next row.
          However, the cursor is positioned at beginning of current row
          instead.

   I don't know what the option "Auto-Raise Lists" does.

g) Register Defaults
   Missing Tool Tip: Default Style Options; Other defaults check boxes

h) Reports
   Missing Tool Tip: All

i) Scheduled Transactions  - GC crashed!

   The default value for "Register lines" is set to 2.  I think this
   value should be increased to display at least 3 lines in the
   Scheduled Transaction Editor.
   The value for the option "Register Lines" has no effect.

   Default for "Show this many lines" should be 3 instead of 2

j) Summary Bar
   Missing Tool Tips: All

k) Windows - OK
   Missing Tool Tips: All
   Toolbar Style:  The Option "Text beside icons" doesn't show text
                   (except for the Save button)
   Option "Save Window Size and Position": Ignored


Thanks
