Rhino 8 UI panel-related woes

Ok. Here are some more:

  1. Every time I open R8, the Linetypes panel window that shows the linetype selections themselves shrinks more and more. This appears to be the minimum after 3 R8 starts.

  1. A serious amounts of screen pixels are squandered on squiggly lines. Looks like 22-ish pixels above and below the linetype name, so 44 superfluous pixels for every row. There is no need for all this padding. It is no good to force the user to hover, click and/or scroll to reveal the available linetypes.

Please format it in a simpler list format, like Layers for example, or at least give us an advanced option to do so.
