the interactive elements on the right side of a report page end up being stacked taller than they need to be, making the entry textarea below the fold and therefore quite possibly unused/undiscovered by new volunteers. It also leads to inefficiency of processing message.
Lat and Lon window can be on one line. If the texarea is narrower we can still see enough of the entry to make use of it for quick reference. Also, if the lat and lon are capped at four significant digits, more placenames will line up with an entry (different resources provide six or more sig digits and if a location is chosen using mouseclick the max precision is often copied)
Each entry can be reduced in width to allow more per line and most importantly, bring the location search into view quicker. This reduces confusion, makes life easier for users regardless of task.
