Mixing "text" and "notext" buttons in controlgroup

[waylan]

Given the following markup I expected the buttons to all be sized with the same proportions:

<div data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
    <a id="back" data-role="button" data-icon="arrow-l" data-iconpos="notext"</a>
    <a id="text" data-role="button">Some text</a>
    <a id="forward" data-role="button" data-icon="arrow-r" data-iconpos="notext"></a>
</div>

Instead, the "notext" buttons are only about two-thirds the height of the "text" button - which looks ridiculous to say the least.

As a work-around I was able to do this:

<div data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
    <a id="back" data-role="button" data-icon="arrow-l">&nbsp;</a>
    <a id="text" data-role="button">Some text</a>
    <a id="forward" data-role="button" data-icon="arrow-r" data-iconpos="right">&nbsp;</a>
</div>

But it feels hacky and leaves extra spaces in what should be "notext" buttons. In fact, if the "notext" buttons are not on the ends, there is no way to make this work with proper spacing (the icon would need to be between 2 non-braking spaces - uhg).

Having done some searching, this may or may-not be related to issue #1998.

I see. We had conceived of the notext version as a small, round icon button like you see on a splitview, not as a large button but I can see a place for both types. We'll consider adding this as a new type post 1.0. Can you add this request to the feature request wiki page, then close this issue (we'll re-open when we add this).

@waylan - This change landed in master (latest code) and will be part of 1.2.. I will remove the request from the wiki page.
