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 them. This is normal. What is not normal is that instead of the 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.


<IMO>
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.
