Well, I was using a Combo Box Entry in my testing. It is odd that it would
behave differently from the depreciated version.

When you set the toolbar style to icons, is it more important that your
toolbar stay the same height (and not shift the window contents) or that it
takes the minimum space required for whichever style it is in? I imagine you
prefer the latter, which would be analogous to popular web browsers, but I'm
not sure how one would do that without adjusting padding on the fly or
dynamically hiding/showing extra (blank) components when switching toolbar
styles.
