no icons in ribbon

First menus are getting too long or cluttered you can make them shorter by grouping similar items in sub menus or using dialog boxes

second tabbed interface does not show icons at first. They only show after I press the arrow for an extension.

I think tabbed and groupedbar should feature all icons and the arrows should slide or move them rather than show an extension. In the meantime please fix these issues.

third groupedbar compact has an extension that does not disappear when I start a dialogue box.

In short the arrows should slide the icons , not show an extension.

There are a few other UI options to choose from if you want to use menus and submenus. The tabbed interface is supposed to expose most functions directly, not hide them away in submenus.
If you have suggestions for improvements to the tabbed interface, please be more specific (e.g. "functions A, B and C should be grouped together in one column"). Probably better to open a new report for these smaller improvements.

This is already reported in bug 140557.

Maybe you'd like to make this idea the focus of this report? (Trying to stick to one issue per report.)
