Synopsis: Multiple problems with Object Browser window

Description

There are multiple problems with the Object Browser window (brought up by
dropping an object on Display Expanded View button in debugger).

1. Text of button is cut off - it reads "Select vi".  I assume this is supposed
   to be "Select viewer".  

2. "viewer" should be capitalized - "Select Viewer".

3. The String Display item in list that appears when I click Select Viewer
   is not left-aligned, but should be.

4. I hope the names "Object.browse" and "Object.dumped" are temporary.
   How about "Object Browse" and "Object Dump" (or perhaps you can come up
   with better names).

5. Drop a STRING_8 in an Object browser.  Select "Object.dumped" format.
   Pick the SPECIAL object inside the Object browser window and drop it
   in same window.  Works correctly.  Now switch back to "Object.browse"
   format.  Displays the original STRING_8 object that was dropped in
   the window instead of the SPECIAL object dropped in that window 
   subsequently.  I assume this is a bug - if not, it is might confusing.

This is fixed in revision rev#67213 except for points 1) and 3) for now.
Point 3) is not a bug ... but a first step for future viewers, indeed ... if we add an "XML" string viewer .. you will see
 Object Dump
   String Display
     String XML Display
 Object Browse

Point 1) should be fixed soon.
