Description:
Long identifiers make the icon view look messy, sometimes columns are skipped (which is probably intended), sometimes identifier bleeds over into icon on the right

Also, the "add table" icon moves - this is not convenient. It should remain at a fixed position so people can always find it, no matter how much items appear in the list.

How to repeat:
see attached files

Suggested fix:
please make display column wide enough to fit items.
In addition, please give the "add table" icon a fixed position, (left top)

Thank you for the bug report.

The moving default entry is fixed. However fixing the small icon view means fixing the underlying control, which is the true culprit for the trouble. However this is more work than it's worth. So what happens now is that the control adjusts the space between the entries in small icon view to the largest entry.

grid view is better now and "add ..."-icons stay in first position

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products.
Added to the changelog.
