General to a redesigned Options / Tests and Diagnostics dialog.

it re-opens the last dialog closed, excepting dialogs with their
own buttons. Hover the mouse over it to see its current assignment.
Alternatively, it can be permanently assigned to one of a range of
dialogs normally accessible from the menus. Set your choice in
