<div>The growing trend seems to be to <a href="http://gosportal.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/google-chrome.jpg">eliminate as much text as possible</a> from the interface. It puzzles me that in 2010, interfaces such as Dolphin still need to spell out the words "Back" and "Forward", or that Layout buttons such as Icons, Details, Columns, Split would be 80% of a Dolphin toolbar.</div>

</div>It's in principle the same problem, but moved from horizontal to vertical. (It<br>
can alleviate the specific bug though).<br>
<br>
What the best solution is, depends on the case, hence those bugs need to be<br>
reported individually (i.e. per Label that doesn't fit).<br>
