    Got it. In the left side case, the button was “overflowing”. Its size was too large to fit the toolstrip and thus it was collapsed like that. After adjusting the button’s size in the left side, all was good.

    I found out what was going on after reading basic stuff about toolstrip controls here, in the “Using the CanOverflow and Overflow Properties” section.
