Inkscape 1.4 requires larger minimum width or height than 1.3

Summary:

When tiling Inkscape to the left/right, it cannot tile correctly due to some elements not being collapsed into a downward arrow. For the selection tool it would be great if the value fields can be made smaller to accomodate the width.

If "Widescreen Mode" is invoked, the window cannot fit in 720p screens. (which isn't an uncommon screen size, as when scaled it's 1280x720@100%, 1920x1080@150%, and 2560x1440@200%)

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • tile Inkscape to the left (or right) and observe

What happened?

Inkscape does not tile correctly due to the toolbar not able to collapse further.

What should have happened?

Either the number fields adjust their sizes, or they are put into a new row.

Additional info

As seen in the screenshot below, Inkscape 1.4 obscures part of the window on the right:

and the number fields look like they can be shrunk further. Compared to 1.3.2:

which can be tiled correctly, although one of the number fields is collapsed (hence not able to input values).
