I tested it with "Text Object" and could reproduce the issue. I assume it is considered to be context sensitive also. So it is correct that it vanishes in and after the page preview. It's not nice that it can be shown at all if the context. Anyway, even if we accepted this as a bug it probably wouldn't be worked on anytime soon. > I cannot reproduce the problem with the "Drawing" toolbar.

IMHO this is a bug that should be fixed. But IIRC this could be a duplicate. > Leaving an object means context change => some toolbar can vanish. > First I need a clear and easy to reproduce scenario.

The point is: should we allow to switch on context sensitive toolbars even if their context is not available. My personal POV is: this problem is not imporant enough to invest time on it. > Please keep in mind that the issue list will be scanned by the QA first > and if there is a reproducible scenario it can be send to the > development.

The work flow should be that the issue is assigned to a developer as soon as it is confirmed by anyone able to do that (not only QA people from Sun). That didn't happen in this case.
