The ribbonbar below will generate OK but will only display the titles fully when it has about 1/4 of the space taken up by the category text on the right as white space.
Removing the tab section improved this a little (we were not using the tabs anyway)
The font size influences the space required but not the relative space proportion.
Stock Control is the fullest category and only goes out as far as Works Orders (3/4 of the total category header size)
Why is it needing so much whitespace?
I can't find any options or editor controls to alter the appearance or size of this wasted space. Anyone got an idea how to change it?
