+- Between 721px and 900px wide (tablet portrait, phone landscape), the
+  Location and Visual Presets dock wings show only their icons, so their
+  labels no longer spill over the voice control or take taps meant for the
+  mic button. The full name stays in the tooltip and accessible name, and the
+  Cyber layout keeps its labels (Denis Groshev, @ZloyS, #1457).
