Giving LO another chance, and experimenting with toolbar placement on
the screen, basically moving them from the default horizontal position
at the top, to a vertical position the side.
Since you are running a 4.1 version why don't you try the Sidebar?
Go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice, Advanced and then on "Optional
(unstable) options" check the option "Enable experimental sidebar (on
restart)"
Then you can simply disable the Formatting Toolbar because it's redundant ;)
Redundant, yes, useless, no. :-)
I like that experimental sidebar, especially since it's detachable and
can be in a window of its own. It's very similar to the native
Inspector available in a lot of OS X programs. Found a couple bugs, but
it is experimental. lol
I find the Inspector idea in OS X programs to be cumbersome when doing
smaller projects, more useful for the larger projects. So, since my
projects are usually small, I rarely use the Inspector function/feature.
Another problem with things like the inspector or the sidebar, is it
takes up room on the display you may not have if you're using a smaller
laptop.

Anyone know the reason(s) for replacing the actual field boxes that give
you the name of the style, font, and font size with nothing but an icon
when the toolbar is vertical? At least they could have a fly out box
that tells you what you're currently using rather than opening the
complete font dialogue.
There is no reason. It's a bug :) Maybe you can report it at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice
?
I won't go into any lengthy explanation here, but I've given up on
filing bugs for any open source program. The short reason is, things
that are important to me, that I use, don't get addressed. So, I just
move on to another program, even if it means I pay for it.
No matter how much I want to use Program A, if it can't/won't/ do the
job, there's no reason to use it. Just thought I'd give 4.x.x a try,
but things I use still are not fixed. And having the sidebar doesn't
fix them.
