           Summary: UI:  Add tooltips to the handles of toolbars
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.1.4.2 release
         Component: UI
           Product: LibreOffice

The toolbars have handles for moving them.  

Requested feature:  When the user mouses over one of these handles, show a
tooltip with the name of the toolbar.  

It would be preferable for the name of the toolbar to be suffixed with "
toolbar" to help novice users to distinguish this tooltip from tooltips for
action buttons.  (The " toolbar" text would, of course, be different in
non-English localizations.)  

Currently, the most obvious way to find out the name of a toolbar is to drag
the handle to undock the toolbar.  Then, after reading the toolbar name, the
user has to drag the toolbar window's titlebar to dock the toolbar again.  

The requested tooltips would be helpful in user support:  
(a) in referring to toolbars when writing use cases in bug reports; 
(b) in showing users which toolbar contains a given function, in case different
functions have similar icons and/or icon tooltips, or the user is advanced
enough to do some showing & hiding of toolbars themselves.  

LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 on Ubuntu 13.04.  I'm using the "libreoffice/ppa" PPA from
launchpad.net.
