... which is why I suggest you rename them. Never mind.

The OnlyO ribbon is also reasonably well arranged.

Perhaps we should try to set up some brainstorming session for re-partitioning
/ sectioning the commands on the tabs in the tabbed UI, to see if we can't get
a better result?

but the complaint is the same?

So, we have cells which are vertically-shorter but horizontally-longer.

TBH, I somewhat doubt this is much of an issue given that one can use zoom or
resize; but there's good reason to change the default, I wouldn't be against
it.

I'm looking at the WiFi icons screenshot and I'm not really following.

Well, a "preview expander" sounds like bug 145038; but that would still be a
button, while

... is another idea, also relevant.

Bottom line: I suggest you split this bug up into the constituent specific
issues. Some of them might benefit from VCL changes/improvements/toolkit
adoptions, other not as much.
