--- Comment #17 from Eduard Braun <eduard.bra...@gmx.de> ---
Just read this in tech news and I'm afraid to say that this was a bad decision,
sorry.
First of all as James Forester claims in comment 12 all of the buttons
(especially the uncollapsed ones) are "actions". Therefore the label is even
more misleading than no label at all and and therefore adds unnecessary noise
to the UI.
Even if we chose a more appropriate label (e.g. the suggested "more" it's kinda
redundant: People are used to the feature that tools which do not fit into the
toolbar are hidden behind a small icon at the end of the toolbar. Almost every
software does this! Therefore for the majority of people the triangle is
crystal clear!
Finally if you want to argue that there are still some people who do not find
those additional actions "hidden" behind an arrow: Remember that those actions
in the drop-down are *advanced* features. Most users never need them! And even
then, do we really want users to use those advanced tools, if they are not even
able to *find* them to start with?
All in all regarding the "monstrous" size that our toolbar already has I'd
rather leave the label out as it always was. I assume that as soon as Winter is
coming all those shiny labels will be obsolete anyway...
