[Lazarus] Find dialog too tight for translations

I've found a problem in the find dialogue, when used in a language 
different from English.

In English it's already a bit crowded:

but once translated it becomes horrible:

The same problem arises with the Replace dialogue.
With some resizing they could be fixed, but I've stumbled into a problem.

The source containing the form is FindDlgUnit in /lcl/forms (which is 
part of the LCLBase package), while the .lrs is loaded by the Dialogs 
unit (also part of the same package).
But editing the form and then recompiling the package apparently doesn't 
update the .lrs, because the dialogue appears unchanged.

What's the proper way of updating the .lrs, in order to have a dialogue 
which can fit non-English languages?
