Panel Box whitespace reduction for more compact applications

We have an application written long ago that we only run in JMP17 (because of the ODBC bug in JMP18 and later). I tried running it in JMP19 and noticed that it doesn't fit on the monitor anymore. That's because they've added extra space around buttons in a Panel Box.

Let's either go back to the previous behavior, or at least have a setting in Preferences, ideally with the previous spacings as the default so that users don't all have to make adjustments individually.

Here's a screen shot of the JMP17 version on top, and JMP20 (EA) below.

Yes, this bothers me too. I'm using Panel Boxes heavily and this change broke my design - I have unnecessary vertical scroller now and GUI looks not good. I'm thinking to switch to something else rather than Panel Box for visual separation of the elements, unless there will be ways to address that some time soon.
