For a toolbar I don't think this really matters. At any rate it didn't particularly bother me in the use to which I put it. But as a GUI design, tearoff toolbars seem to me to be a poor choice anyway. I agree though that for the purposes for which ardour is likely to use tearoffs, collapsing the space is probably essential.
