Windows 7 Professional, 64 Bit.

When I install it in the "Virtual XP Mode" (That's a VM to support old 
Win7-incompatible software), the combo box has a reasonable size.
But there's a surprise: The list of tools is different:
   LaTeXmk, pdfTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeTeX, XeLaTeX, ConteXt (MKII), XeConTeXt 
(MKII), BibTeX, MakeIndex
You can compare this with the list above.

Nope. The left tool bar is narrow at the first start. The combo box is 
too narrow. Restarting TW does not help. Moving the other tool bar (and 
so resizing the left tool bar) does not help even after restart. After 
restart the left tool bar has the same small width again.

Tested with "Version 0.5 r765 (official)"
