Description Simon Arsenault CLA 2001-12-06 14:43:42 EST 
On linux, running build 2001-11-27 (does not happen on build 2001-11-16 on Nt 
2000).

When a view like the Navigator is resized smaller, the tool items move below 
the label. However, so does the pulldown menu icon (triangle) and the close 
icon (X). These two tool items use to stay on the same line as the label no 
matter how small the view got.

In my opinion, this is going to be a usuability problem. Users are accustomed 
to the close button being on the same line as the label and located to the far 
right corner. If it starts moving around, I think users will get confused.

Just tried with build 2001-12-04 on NT 2000 and got the same problem - close 
button moves down when view resized smaller.

The two toolbar were merged together for accessibility reasons I understand. 
However, I having the close X button in the top right corner is standard and 
were users expect it. We should place at least this icon back there.

Several users have complained about this. Need to resolve usability and 
accessibility issues.
