This is a problem with the size of topbar, not only a grease pencil problem.

@ideasman42 Have you seen this problem? If the topbar is too wide, it's not visible.

We are working in a patch to move some topbar fill options to popover to reduce the width, so we can fix this, but this not solve the real Topbar problem.

@CharlieJolly We must think in moving the popover idea from gp-branch to master. Maybe we could move the current master options now, and later add the others. What do you think?

There is an underlying UI issue. We can move options to a popover but I tested it and the options don’t display in the side panel.

@WilliamReynish are you aware of this issue too and how Blender should deal with it.

This is a known issue that should definitely be fixed. When there’s not enough space in the top bar, all the content just disappears. We could start by making it work like the headers, where things just start to scroll.
