UI elements jumping and moving around like that are absolute hell for usability. It denies muscle memory, demands eye tracking (and good eyesight and situational awareness in general), and keeps users on edge because things keep changing.

I'm failing to see the point of that dropdown (well, dropup) menu. The space is there from the beginning, but as unused and wasted whitespace. Why the unnecessary button and associated UI movements?

Also, why is that button called pi?
