G-plus button issue

Very nice plugin but I have one (or two) issue with the G+ button:

When I enable the Google Plus button it causes the text line that is below the button (the first line of the actual post) to be cut short.

It is as if the G+ button took up space far below the actual button.

You can see what I mean in this illustration:

On top is how the first text line looks without the G+ button.

Below is how it looks with the G+ button enabled.

This is not good. It is particularly bad if there is a picture at the beginning of the post, e.g. a right adjusted thumbnail, then it causes the whole image to be pushed to the left.

I have tried to fix it by adding space below the button with the plugin’s “margin” function but it doesn’t work. Even if I add a lot of margin below the buttons the issue remains.

This issue makes it impossible for me to use the G+ button.

Any way to fix it?

Second (minor) thing: The G+ button is too big. The best option would be to make it a user choice how big the button would be, or simply to make it smaller.
