Toolbar spacing has changed in latest version?

[VTGroupGitHub]

I have two 1920x1080 computers. The one running Notepad++ v8.6.5 (64-bit) has a completely full toolbar. (I script a lot of things and add them as buttons.) Unfortunately, my other computer appears to have updated to 8.6.9 (64-bit), and its toolbar has about 20 buttons that spill into a second row.

The toolbar Settings are identical, so it looks like additional whitespace was added between buttons in the new toolbar?

Is there a way to revert to the old toolbar layout in 8.6.9?

I’m sure someone thought this was an improvement, but in my case, it’s not. :)

@VTGroupGitHub ,

Are you using the Customize Toolbar plugin? If so, it gets confused by the new pulldown arrow attached to the Show All Characters ¶ toolbar button.

Technically, the “problem” is with the plugin, but since it was a change in the App that made that plugin not work correctly, there is an issue#15440 on the main App, though it’s doubtful whether the developer will agree that he should try to fix it.

However, there is a workaround using @ArkadiuszMichalski’s suggestion here which says to use a custom icon for Show All Characters instead of the builtin icon; this suggestion is fleshed out in my example here, which shows the Customize Toolbar config needed (along with explaining where you can get the appropriate icons for CT to use)

@PeterJones You answer was 100% correct. Thank you! I do use Customize Toolbar, and by simply removing the Show All Characters button, my previous layout has returned.

When I have a minute, I’ll put it back with a custom icon. Thanks for that suggestion too.
