Thanks Xara

In the latest update (8.1.2) you can go back to having everything showing up on one line, but you do need to change one thing in the registry (SuperWideInfobar).

Here's how to do that:

Another thing I'd like to suggest to enhance the text tool is adding icons for the Tracking and Kerning, basically like in version 7.

Now I find myself hovering the cursor over one of the two and reading the tool-tip popup to see if I'm going to modify the right one.
Adding these icons will remove the guesswork for the user. I suspect these icons were also removed to safe space.

I do like the simplicity of the Baseline shift triangles, spaced further apart than necesary to illustrate what they'll do. Simple, but very effective.

I've added an image to illustrate, the two added icons are shown in red.

Thanks for that link to the registry tweak. I am a happier person.

Thanks for this fix. It has been really annoying me—can't imagine why they implemented this and haven't fixed it after so many complaints.
