Tabbed Toolbar in macOS

The top level menu (e.g. in Writer "File", "Home", "Insert", "Layout", "References" etc.) is weirdly positioned. See attachment "TabbedToolbar.png". It's nothing like the preview as in attachment "Select Your Preferred User Interface.png" probably due to the standard way that macOS handles tabs.

Due to the misalignment of icons on the tabbed toolbar (Bug 133214), those tabs look particularly out of place.

Could the tab bar be at least left aligned so that when the window is

Resized Windows with cut off menu bar at top

Once a window is resized the top menu bar gets cut off. The "Tools" menu is not visible and selectable anymore.

The top level menu (e.g. in Writer "File", "Home", "Insert", "Layout", "References" etc.) is weirdly positioned. See attachment "TabbedToolbar.png". It's nothing like the preview as in attachment "Select Your Preferred User Interface.png" probably due to the standard way that macOS handles tabs.

Due to the misalignment of icons on the tabbed toolbar (Bug 133214), those tabs look particularly out of place.

When the window is resized to a point where the top level menu gets cut off ("ResizedWindow.png") the menu entries to the right can't be selected anymore. This results in undesired interruptions in workflows as I have resize the window only to access some of those menu items.

Could the tab bar be at least left aligned so that when the window is resized in its width all the menu entries can be selected?

Word aligns the menu left too and puts a double chevron to its right if there's not enough space to place the remaining menu items (see "MSWord Tabbed Menu.png")

I'd argue if the tabs even have to be all of the same width, saving further space if they're only as wide as the text on the menu entry.

I only checked that appearance back to version 6.4.7.2
Comment 6 Martin Sourada 2023-02-26 10:52:32 UTC
I see this as well. I believe this is not intentional setting, as I have a solid background behind the tabs visible which is positioned correctly (unlike the tabs themselves). I don’t have my work macbook by hand, so I attach a screenshot when I get back to it (probably tomorrow).

Shifted (compared to where they should be) tabs

Here’s the promised screenshot. I’ve highlighted the background (green rectangle) – which is where the tabs are supposed to be – and the tabs themselves (red rectangle). It can be clearly seen that the tabs are shifted compared to when they are supposed to be.

FWIW, my screenshot is from:
