Well ok then I might remember wrong or the differences are just not so big in the english version.

As said in the first post, I do want the text. Icons only is not intuitive enough for me as I don't use it every week.

Ok, but that's not a pro-argument for the bumpy menu. I don't know any other program with this kind of aperiodic item widths.
Thank you @DoctorOhh and @BetterRed for the screenshots and your setup suggestions, but actually these are just workarounds. You obtain more space by eliminating buttons from the UI.
I'd better like to prevent single items to waste too much space. This will allow me to have more items visible at once and more important it's a cleaner look and feel which will also improve first impression.
The question for me is "what speaks against fixed-width"?
