Screenshot showing the problem

When using the Tabbed UI, the Tools tab (available in all apps) does not use well the space to distribute the tools. There are two main problems:

1) The "Group box" command is alone at the bottom of a stack where 2 tools were supposed to be placed, but the top slot is empty.

2) The controls are misaligned, leaving empty spaces. For instance, the "Image Control" could be placed below the "Image Button".

See attached image for more details.

Agree
Comment 2 Heiko Tietze 2023-05-09 12:04:48 UTC 
The "Group Box" command (.uno:GroupBox / Insert > Form Controls) starts a wizard that inserts a some form controls. It toggles on/off likewise the command "Form Control Wizard" above (for some reason not shown in your screenshot and IIRC only after a form wizard run).

I don't think this function deserves a prominent place on the primary UI. But if, it is more or less correct placed. To switch into a toggle on state is weird, however. We do this for amodal dialogs but in this case I see no reason.

I too do not reproduce, as I see the "Form Control Wizard" above Group Controls, nor am I missing icons.

Delete your user profile and check again...
