dash in "normal" mode

The dash (favorites bar to the left in overview mode) goes from large to very small when it runs out of space to display icons.

For comparison, the OSX Dock and Docky both scale to fit icons rather than jump to a much smaller size all at once.

dash in "small" mode

This is the dash after adding 2 more icons. It jumped from a normal size to rather small.
