the first part has been resolved as per i31362. But second part is still unanswered. Hi aparan, thanks for your engagement in searching defects... :) This is a known issue and it is dupluicate to issue 31362 and the work on it is in progress... set as duplicate *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 31362 *** Since this issue is a duplicate I need to close it now... The context menu for the menu bar will be an easier option as regards view/hide of toolbars. Please change the summary, Anyway i'm reopening the issue Hi aparan, please submit only one problem per issue! I looked at the summary end recognized this issue as an duplicate and didn't look into your comments... BTW why should a menubar have a context menu??? I've never seen this before... I changed the Summary from "Toolbars - hidden toolbars could not be shown again" to "provide a context menu in empty space of the menubar to show/hide toolbars like MSOffice does" aparan mailed to me the following motivation: "Hi This feature is already there in all MSOffice apps and also in the Mozilla Firefox. You can right click the empty space in the menubar and show/hide toolbars and also invoke the customise dialog from this popup menu. It is the easiest way to do this for people who prefer a clean workspace and toolbars only when they need them and hide them other wise. Please take a re-look at this. " reassigned to cj mci->cj: Hi cj, please have a look at this and decide if we want to have this "feature", too... Since the View>Toolbars option is now implemented in the latest developer builds, doesn't this satisfy the need for a way of showing/hiding toolbars from the menu bar? Also, Tools>Customise can easily be accessed from the menubar, so I can't see why anyone would need a context menu on the menubar which has the sole purpose of duplicating commands already available within the menu structure. Thinking from the ease of use view point I would ask for this enhancement So long, nothing heard :) @ aparan: Please don't change the version setting. We want to know when this issue has been found. If nobody has fixed it it's logical that it will also happen in the current version. Shouldn't OOo "provide a context menu anywhere on the toolbar and menubar to show/hide toolbars"? This is the actual bahavior of MS Office 2003. Lacking the ability to right-click on toolbar to show/hide toolbars is inconvenient. I think that this issue can be marked as duplicate of 33668 (to consolidate efforts of community and developers). Please transfer your votes. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 33668 *** The Issue you raised has been marked as 'Resolved' and not updated within the last 1 year+. I am therefore setting this issue to 'Verified' as the first step towards Closing it. If you feel this is incorrect, please re-open the issue and add any comments.
