Description erics 2005-04-06 19:57:54 UTC 
When the toolbar is docked at the top and not floating, whenever I cursor
through a table, an outline, or any other element that has a toolbar associated
with it, the document jumps down a bit to make room for the appropriate toolbar
to dock at the top.  When I cursor past the element, the document jumps back up.
 That is a major irritant.  The floating toolbar bugs me because it usually
appears on top of the text I'm editing so I dock them by default.  Leave the
toolbar onscreen like WordPerfect and Word do.  That way the document won't
shift up and down and up and down as I scroll up and down through the document
while editing.

Yes, I can dock it on the side, but then the doc shifts left and right.  That
would be acceptable if it just left an empty bar there.

I'm working for WP/Word familiarity, right?

AFAIK, we already have an issue for this but I can't find it anymore.
Can you help please?

Thie is a general UI problem, not only for writer. 

I believe this is so important that a solution should be mentioned in

I agree, the context-sensitive pop-up UI elements are annoying and distracting.

Workarounds to prevent work area geometry changes:
1) Dock toolbars at bottom
2) Create a new empty toolbar; dock this on any side to create a new toolbar
row. Dock the context-sensitive toolbars in this new row. The empty toobar will
maintain the toolbar row even when the pop-ups are not present.

Any chance of re-targetting for at least the 2.X series, to keep this on the radar?

Cheers,
Andrew
