Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

In 2.28 GNOME, the default toolbar view is "text beside items"

But Synaptic still uses the previous "text below items" view as default, making it look out of place.

Personally, Text beside icons is really an odd layout. Since certain items have text and certain dont and the items dont really line up well.
Why do the back and forward icons have text or even need text ? they are pretty self explanatory.
Either only icons or Text below icons is better. ;)

But synaptic could maintain the system system setting

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

- Though this is a bug in the default install , we expect average users to be using either the update manager or the software store more. Synaptic is for more advanced purposes.
For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.
