Just upgraded to 91.1.2 (64-bit)

It changed the TEXT for forward, reply and Trash to Icons

TOO small, and have to waste a mouse over to see what they do

How do I get the text back?

Before this so called "upgrade" they had text..

Why in the world, do it with out having an onn/off etc...and then be forced? To get an add on?

It only shows icons if the Message Pane is too narrow to show text plus icons. Enlarge the pane or choose another setting in View/Layout.

Yes, but it is the same size window I always use it at for 5+ years...and same layout, so something there got changed in a css CSS or something that is not correct?

I'm writing from a 15.6" laptop at 1366x768 and Classic View in TB. The icons and text are shown.

There are plans to enhance this area in a future version, roughly a year away. But it requires significant UI and code refactoring, so nothing further will happen during version 91.
