(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately didn't get any
response at the time.)

I tested this now in Emacs 27, and Emacs behaves differently now -- it
doesn't expand to several lines at all, but instead the "overflowing"
toolbar items just aren't displayed.  If I expand the frame width, they
are shown.

Does anybody know whether this is the intended behaviour?
