It's simply confusing when toolbar items change depending on toolbar 
orientation. What are you going to show in vertical mode - 
a paper-clip ? :-) 

Also combos usually control some basic features, like font size and
family. There's a point to separate these basic controls from other
toolbar items, representing other tools and changing more dynamically in
different working modes.
