@lcdservices as per changes this is how it will represent the 1-row table layout:

Tried with restricting the width as much as I can but any further resizing will trim placeholder and doesn't looks good.

And as an alternative I have prepared another patch with 2-rows table layout:

NOTE: The display layout will get detoriated due to populating from/to date fields if we choose absolute date range as filter. Need to refactor templates/CRM/Core/DateRange.tpl to fix their position.

The patch also contains fix for CRM-20799 where add a conditional setting preserve_activity_tab_filter under 'Display Preferences' :

@monishdeb the labels should consistently be above the fields. see screenshot. Also, in the help text, "contact's" is being visibly escaped. Other than that -- both the filters and setting is working great.

@lcdservices thanks for your feedback, fixed the label placement and that typo on help text.
