The layout is actually working. However, Cupcake has new assets for buttons (and other widgets) and it happens that the minimum width of the buttons has changed. I don't know how you set up your layout but it looks like you were relying on that minimum size to get all the buttons aligned (which would be bad since such a layout would break anyway on devices with different resolutions and/or densities, but that's another topic.)
