I have a high resolution monitor and I use fairly small icons to be able to get
the most actual working space on the screen. For every other icon it's not a
problem. For the new 'File Save' icon on the toolbar the drop-down arrow takes
up one third of the width of the icon, and the icon is not quite double the
size of the cursor. When in the middle of working on a text document I
frequently dart the cursor up to click on the save, click, and back down to
work. However, if the cursor is even just half a pixel over the drop-down list
the list is activated instead of the save action. The list drops and I have to
go back to the icon and click on the body of the icon twice to get the wanted
action done. The time taken to do it is significantly longer than it used to
be.
