Re: Too short buttons in Draft panels?
Same issue here, it's even worse in a different language (French) where words are longer; the default system font size is also bigger in Ubuntu than on Windows.

Re: Too short buttons in Draft panels?
Time for a refactor there I guess...
These limitations come from the time the Draft UI was a toolbar.. Some of you old-timers might remember
I guess now is a right time to make that toolbar mode obsolete (I don't think it even works anymore..) and have the task panel scale the buttons as it needs..

Re: Too short buttons in Draft panels?
Its probably time now, but its a little sad, a bit of history going.
i sure do, I used to run the setting to keep using the old toolbar but sometime ago with a system update, I ended up with default FreeCAD settings again and i got used to the new way....
I never noticed the buttons because for me, its only a small part of the first one missing, the rest appeared to be fine since they had shorter content.
Re: Too short buttons in Draft panels?
It's documented in the wiki, but yeah, it's pretty much obsolete now Draft_Coordinates#Command_toolbar.
I think the concept of a "command toolbar" is not a bad idea, but it should work properly, which at the moment it doesn't because there are many more options in a typical "task panel". I think this stems from an older influence; I seem to recall Autocad had something like this, and Inkscape currently uses something similar (a toolbar that gives you different options depending on the selected tool).
If you use Draft or Arch a lot, it's noticeable, although it's not a huge problem of course; just one of those user interface improvements that could be done.I never noticed the buttons because for me, its only a small part of the first one missing, the rest appeared to be fine since they had shorter content.
