<pre>Something always felt odd to me with pavucontrol's layout, and I think I
finally figured out what it is: the horizontal tabs at the top. The problem is
that in many verbose languages (such as French) they become very lengthy, and
then the notebook overflows into scroll mode, which is not handled very well by
GTK.
A better layout I would propose would be to simply use vertical tabs, and to
remove the 12px padding (border) around the vbox containing the notebook
widget.
This would make pavucontrol look great on the official GTK theme, Adwaita.
Screenshots attached.
You might be surprised to find out that, paradoxally, with vertical tabs the
window actually becomes less wide, and the contents inside each page feel more
balanced (less stretched horizontally, especially the sliders and vumeters).
This looks especially great on widescreen monitors.</pre>
