Bug Description
Since updating to .91 (which is awesome), what the changelog describes as "More compact Markers selectors" make it very difficult to distinguish between similar markers - especially for arrows.
As the text description of standard markers has been removed, the dropdown selector shows multiple very similar items.
This is worsened by 'recently used' items, which add a marker whenever it is selected from the general list, making it easy to end up with many duplicates of standard markers.
Extent of problem varies with screen DPI, but have tested as same problem on Windows and Linux (opensuse KDE).
Preferred resolution would be to bring back the text descriptions in the drop-down element (not necessarily in the 'selected' part - only when the dropdown is active), and change the 'recents' behaviour to have only one instance of each marker.
