With #3227 I tested some variants to let the toolbar grow. But I'm not super happy with the result yet:

Let the whole toolbar grow:

Let the primary actions part grow:

Any other ideas?

What about like browsers do? Offer an overflow-exand-button?

I thought about it too, but in the browser toolbar you click once. In the editor toolbar you click lots of times, so for formatting a text it would be very clicky.

why not make it scrollable? when the toolbar gehts bigger in height, it might break the secondary editor ...

How would you make it scrollable (also keep touch devices in mind)? Thought about hovering, but that also has its own usability issues.

If we introduce a a 3-dots button like in Gutenberg or something similar like @kdambekalns proposes, I think we need a way to give positions (or a group) to the formatting options.
