On the toggled state, the button simple seems to have been pressed here.

Maybe it's the ui file that has some fixed values? Why should the widgets 
resize/move if the window changes its size? As far as I can see, the window 
changes has its size changed only when the current mode is changed, and extra 
space is used by the extra buttons, or is removed when moving to a simpler 
state, no?
