Some differences:
- font of the table text is larger compared to buttons
- horizontal scrollbar because table width does not fit anymore
- watchlist buttons overlap with market selection
- "Market" string now in blue
- Update button falls out of the window

Switching to Windows classic view gives similar problems.
