When I narrow my project window, items in the toolbar move into
the overflow menu as the window becomes too narrow to show all of

rightmost item going into the menu, they seem to go there at
random. It could be the rightmost item, the leftmost item, or
something in the middle. This is clearly a bug, but:
If it's not a bug, it's probably implemented via the use of "-
[NSToolbarItem visibilityPriority]".
But since you say that they "go there at random", I guess it would
have to be a bug.
It may happen in accordance with specific algorithm, but it seems
random to me. I have six items in the toolbar. As I narrow the window
they disappear in this order (numbered from left to right): 6, 3, 1,
5, then the window won't go any narrower, so 2 and 4 are always
visible. At the time they disappear, only 6 and 5 are the rightmost
items. That feels pretty random to me.

I'm the one who should set the priority by putting items I most want
to stay in the toolbar farther to the left in the toolbar. It would
be arrogant for a developer to enforce any other set of priorities on
a toolbar I customized. It also produces a very disconcerting
behavior: I see that an item has disappeared, but I can't tell
immediately which one it was. So I guess it's either a bug or a
serious design flaw.
