System Information
Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Blender Version
Broken: 2.82 alpha, December 30, 00:16:23 - c2a37867f2
Worked: 2.81

Short description of error
In the latest Blender 2.82 alpha master builds, the right-click brush settings dialog in Sculpt Mode has its appearance hotspot set at the top right of the dialog, which is very inconvenient when you want to frequently adjust the brush size or strength slider.

The dialog appearance hotspot used to be at a more convenient, slider-centric position. It’d be great if that could be fixed, thanks a lot.

Ideally, you should be able to click and hold RMB, and move to the left or right to change the brush size, and up and down to change brush strength. And when additionally holding Shift, you'd adjust the smoothing strength.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Enter Sculpt Mode.
Right-mousebutton click to make the dialog appear.

UI: Brush Settings overhaul

This makes a number of changes to the tool settings brush UI:

All brush-related controls are now grouped together, so you can see which items are brush settings are which are not. Previously it was all jumbled together.

The brush picker is in a separate panel, so that you can switch brushes without worrying about the settings, or vice versa.

Custom Icon settings moved from the Display settings(now known as Cursor) to the Brushes panel.

UnifiedPaintSettings panels are removed and the contained options are now next to their relevant setting with a globe icon toggle. This is not displayed in the header.

2D Falloff and Absolute Jitter toggles were changed into enums, to make it clearer what happens when they are on or off.

Adjust Strength for Spacing option was in the Options panel in some modes, but in the Stroke panel in others. It is now always under Stroke.

Display (now Cursor) panel was reorganized, settings renamed.

2-option enums are annoying as a drop-down menu, so they are now drawn with expand=True.

Smooth Stroke and Stabilizer options in grease pencil and other paint modes are now both called "Stabilize Stroke", for consistency and clarity.

De-duplicated some drawing code between various painting modes' brush options. I tried to keep de-duplication reasonable and easy to follow.

A few more tweaks - see D5928 for the extensive list.

Most of the patch is written by Demeter Dzadik, with some additions by myself

FYI: As @Mets commented in differential D5928 he wants to take a look into it after the new year's.

This can be considered an UI discussion, but not a bug, as the dialog is still functional.

This is a bug, since it was working correctly a few builds ago.
That erractic behavior was introduced by mistake in some random committ.
So yea, if it's not intended, then it's a bug.
