I am running 2.2.0 on Ubuntu Feisty. I have an issue with the UI behaviour of
the Writer application.

I wish to dock the Bullets & Numbering toolbar to the top-menu on a *permanent*
basis. I have docked the toolbar successfully, but when I move my cursor outside
of a bulleted list, the toolbar disappears from the screen. I have tried various
steps to make the toolbar "sticky" (i.e. visible on a permanent basis) to no 
avail.


To reproduce:

1. Create a bulleted list using Writer (enter a few random points)

2. Place the cursor within the bulleted list. When the Bullets & Numbering
toolbar appears, dock it into the top nav bar by dragging it in. (Correct
behaviour, no problem here).

3. Move the cursor off the bulleted list. Observe that the toolbar disappears.
Again, correct behaviour for a "context sensitive" toolbar that has not been
"made sticky" by the user.

NOW, with the cursor remaining OUTSIDE of the bulleted list (for example, on
some "Default" text);

4. Select "View > Toolbars" and click on "Bullets & Numbering" to display the
toolbar. Observe that the toolbar is re-displayed in the former (docked)
position and that certain toolbar icons are grayed-out (inactive). (This is
correct behaviour.)

5. Now, move the cursor back into the bulleted list. Observe that the toolbar
remains in-place (correct behaviour) and that certain icons are now active, as
they should be.

6. Finally, now move the cursor OFF the bulleted list once again. Observe that
the toolbar now *disappears* once again, despite the fact that in Step 4 the
user attempted to make the toolbar "sticky" even outside of a bulleted list. In
my view, this is behaviour is incorrect.

The only way to force the toolbar to be displayed outside of the bulleted list
(i.e. "sticky") is to repeat step 4 once again. Grr.



I will leave it to the QA and developers but to me, this is a real usability
gripe. The user should have the ability to configure which toolbars remain
"sticky" on display at all times, and the remaining toolbars should appear on a
context-sensitive basis as per the default behaviour of the application.

All the best.
