TL;DR : please make an option turn on/off the context sensitivity of the toolbars. that way you can choose which toolbars will be always on and which will be always off. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The simple solution would be to add a hide button on the toolbar such that when it is clicked, the toolbar does not come back. Ever. Unless specifically activated through the toolbar customization menu. This solution would maintain the functionality that the devs seem to love so much and make it far easier and less annoying to fix the problem for us users. I would prefer to see this implemented in a way that requires two clicks at most. Also, seeing as how this bug is almost two years old, has several duplicates and many comments, can we get a milestone for this? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

To the unsuspecting user, this gives the impression of being rude and thoughtless. If it's going to pop up unrequested, it should at least be placed outside the working area. And *no* pop-up should *ever* take focus, since if user is typing rapidly they will get unexpected results -- always a bad thing. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Even if it wasn't, it is pretty annoying that I have to search a bug tracker to find how to disable what is probably the most annoying feature I have run across in any word processing app. I frequently make flash cards. I had to permanently add the table and bullet dialogs to the toolbar because they would both pop up EVERY TIME I WENT TO EDIT THE CARDS. that is not a benifit. that is an extremely annoying and deal breaking irritation. If abiword wasn't having so many issues with text rendering lately, I would use it instead. This needs to be fixed, or at the very least, be easier to disable. Please, can someone add the directions to disable this feature to the bug report so that we don't rely on outside links that get taken down? thanks - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I have been making custom toolbars or empty toolbars and sticking them to the right of context sensitive bars for a couple of years now and hating it every time... Those are not intuitive workarounds and hacks that help overcome a number of ugly usability issues introduced by one clever idea - context awareness. Once again those are not solutions but workarounds that can be executed only by a computer lierate/power user who is DETERMINED to stick with OOo. I am sure that for every posting on this site there many thousands of others who are probably dumping OOo because of this and similar non-issues. They are are either not even aware that they can contact developers with their comments or can't be bothered. I guess that is the problem with many Open Source Free (as in beer) Projects - lack of monetary insentive to really listen to the users needs.

The toolbar ignores the command and re-appears whenever the cursor is returned to the relevant context. The workaround I am using is to explictly switch on the relevant toolbar, position it at the bottom of the document window, right-click on the menu button (the down arrow) and check the Lock Toolbar Position option. The toolbar still appears and disappears as the cursor enters and exits the corresponding context, but at least it no longer shifts the document up and down as the toolbar appears and disappears. I have to say, I'm surprised that there is not an easy (i.e. more obvious) way to control this behaviour. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I tried everything, including View-Toolbars in context, but since my post I've upgraded a notch and reinstalled, and it now does turn off. So withdraw my comment. I do still hate the default behaviour - which assumes that the context of a click in a bullet is that of editing (rather than the surely more common navigation or review), but it's apparently not going to change. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

You can turn it off. See http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5t=883 You can also prevent it from changing the window layout by docking it in front of a horizontal toolbar, or above a vertical one. This issue is a non-issue, as there are easy ways to avoid the problems that context- sensitive toolbars cause. Having an option to pin them would make the desired aim easier to achieve, but it can already be done quite easily. 1. Create a customised toolbar (they are never context-sensitve), and put all of the icons that you wish to have available permanently on that. 2. Turn off the context sensitive toolbar(s) by placing the cursor *in context,* and turning off the toolbar from the View, Toolbars, menu. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
