I noticed this with the combobox field type, but it may occur with others. I cannot put a simple instruction to the right of the field because a <br /> seems to be hard coded, causing the instructions to go underneath. That is confusing to people who can't tell whether the instructions are for the above or below fields.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
Just for an example, the simple instruction I'm trying to put to the right of a combobox is just to explain how to use a combobox for those who have never seen one and don't know that they are, or for users who aren't aware it's a combobox:
"Select from the dropdown list, or type something in."
