The resizing behavior of XTP's "xtpButtonIconAndCaption" ribbon bar command style seems to be inconsistent with how MS Office 2007 behaves.

Here's an example. In MS Word 2007, the first ribbon group (by default) is the Clipboard group. The "Cut", "Copy" and "Format Painter" commands all have the equivalent of XTP's "xtpButtonIconAndCaption" style set (e.g. they show small icons with adjacent caption text, regardless of available space). However - if you now start shrinking the MS Word window frame, you'll notice that these three commands will drop their caption and ONLY retain their icons.

In other words, MS Word appears to prefer to drop the captions of these commands *before* it starts taking more drastic measures (such as collapsing entire groups into popup window sections).

I can't seem to get similar behavior from the XTP ribbon bar. Commands with the "xtpButtonIconAndCaption" style *never* seem to drop their captions during ribbon resize operations.

Is there some way to get similar behavior in XTP?
