The current (as of 25.x) way the form UIs (whether for settings or trackers fields or whatever) lets the tiki help icons "after the setting widget" wrap onto the next line when the widget is full-width, is problematic for a number of reasons, including:
My guess is that Tiki lets those things wrap when it shouldn't (maybe using some sort of non-breaking space character, or a div containing both the form field and the related things?)
The only exception I can envision is long explanation labels, those make sense to have on a separate line.
Please see the attached screenshots (and mockups), this will make the problem self-explanatory; compare image no1 vs no2, and particularly no3 vs no4 which illustrate very well the change in the "global feeling" and compactness of the layout when you do this for many fields.

Image no5 shows how this problem also affects Tiki Tracker list tables and such where there are editable cells with clickable icons/buttons in those cells. Those shouldn't wrap either, they should stay on the last line of the contents (or maybe vertically centered in the cell, or top-aligned?) :
