I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing though. For touch-based
UIs you need that extra spacing because of the imprecise nature (and
large "pointer" size) of finger-based input, but that's not the case
here. Particularly in a debugger I'd rather have as much space as
reasonably possible devoted to displaying useful information, and the
extra margins added via the default spacing in this instance frankly
did not look good, nor were they in any way helpful. I can post
comparative screenshots with the different spacing options if you'd
like.
