Description
In the Create Virtual Machine, Import Appliance, and Export Appliance dialogs, the Hide Description and Show Description button labels are very misleading. Initially, it reads Hide Description in a simple/cleaner dialog, but clicking on the button then shows all the details (more options), which the button label then changes to Show Description and clicking on it will bring the dialog back to the simple state. I believe they are in fact bugs that need to be swapped or reversed. Button labels should describe the action it does when it is clicked.
I am not sure if other host type is having the same issue.

Please check the dialogs carefully. If the description is hidden, then all dialogs are condensed. Less information, less clicks necessary to create a new VM or to create a new hard disk. The wording on the buttons is perhaps not perfect but IMO still appropriate.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
