After updating, my toolbar has increased in size. The icons (I use “Standard icons: small”) haven’t changed, but the spacing between them has apparently increased.
- Enhance the quality of Fluent toolbar icon sets for different DPI settings. (Fix #15253)
Could this have anything to do with it?

Same problem here.
[EDIT]
Seems to be connected with CustomizeToolbar plugin. When I rename the folder of this plugin so that it won’t be loaded by Notepad++, the large icon problem is gone.

@datatraveller1 Geat new feature, by the way.

@TBugReporter @dinkumoil
If you have a problem with CustomizeToolbar please read the issue:
https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/15440
With minimal effort you can achieve small icons and a new multi-selection feature for the Show All Characters button (via context menu). -
@ArkadiuszMichalski
Thanks a lot for hinting to this workaround. Works like a charm. -
FYI, auto-update is triggered for v8.6.9.
