Comment 23 for bug 390724

Well I had too. You still don't seem to understand that this is not a subjective issue based on my perception. Its an objective design flaw.

I just tested some other GTK apps and this issue could not get funnier. In Eye of Gnome, you have a customisable toolbar. Try dragging a button with a long name (such as properties, slideshow, show last) and see what happens. ALL the buttons readjust their size in order to be the same size as the largest button. So the button wraps around the text of the largest button and all the others adjust to that largest size for consistency. Works much better than Nautilus. Earlier I thought maybe the GNOME HIG were flawed, but certainly the discrepancy between EoG and Nautilus means one of them isn't following the guidelines. So definitely a bug and not my "opinion". With you buttons to fit labels paradigm, you could potentially have all buttons of different sizes. That would certainly be a nightmare. I have nothing further to say. No more "spam" from this end.
