Request re icons in 2.4.0 (redux)

[Christopher Menzel]

Estimable LyX developers,

I am wondering about a relatively minor interface issue that seems to affect the Linux version of 2.4.0~beta5 but not the MacOS version, as illustrated in the attached graphics, when the "Extra" icon set is placed vertically on the left of the LyX window. In the Linux version, the "Apply recent text properties" icon takes up far more horizontal space than the other icons and, as a consequence, makes the entire icon set take up about 50% more horizontal space than on the MacOS version, where the "Apply recent text properties" icon takes up no more space than the other icons. (The MacOS icons are also noticeably sharper, but that could have to do with the fact that I'm running Linux in a Parallels VM.) I'm wondering if perhaps there is some simple fix here or if it is due to an inherent difference between the two platforms that can't be overridden. FTR, I have compiled 2.4.0~beta5 on both Intel and Apple Silicon machines, which are running up-to-date versions of Kubuntu (23.04) and Kali (2023.3), respectively, and both exhibit the phenomenon in question.

Thanks for any information.

Chris Menzel
