Research direction

Start in Audacity 4 on Linux and reproduce the issue through Preferences → Appearance → Appearance → Body Text Size. Compare the toolbar with the rest of the application while increasing and decreasing the setting, then trace the toolbar text sizing and make it respond consistently. Done means the toolbar font size changes with Body Text Size, including both increases and decreases.
