Yup! No issues; text never gets cut off with the common languages I tested. |

With #112690, the output panel's buttons were changed to show horizontally, looking cleaner and better. However, one complaint was that this change would mess with people's muscle memory to find the Clear button, which is arguably the most used button in that container. That complaint was met (also by me) with "we'll just have to get used to it" and the PR was merged.
Having played with the dev and beta version a bit, and having resized the editor docks a fair amount playing with various layouts, it does bother me more than I thought it would that the button "moves" and isn't stuck to a corner.
HFlowContainerwraps the rest of the buttons to the next lines:In conclusion, one can't grow any muscle memory for the button any longer. This PR attempts to fix that.
My first attempt to address this was to put the two buttons to the right. With this first attempt, the gestalt of the two buttons merges with the buttons below it, making a 2x2 grid of buttons, and... it's perhaps a bit awkward? Also, the Collapse and Expand Bottom Panel button icons look somewhat similar, which may pose a problem. So I concluded that perhaps we should move the clear button to the left instead? It doesn't look as sexy (in my opinion), but the button will always be on the left this way and will allow for muscle memory to grow again.
A few other small changes this PR does to improve the new output dock layout ever so slightly:
