Description gobnat 2005-05-11 07:14:29 UTC 
The fact that the bullets and numbering toolbar is not persistent across
paragraphs is driving me nuts. This function (where it displays or hides the
toolbar depending on whether numbering is applied to the paragraph) is bad
design.  For example, if you click on an unnumbered paragraph specifically to
add numbering the blasted toolbar disappears.  Meanwhile the screen is
continually redrawn when moving through a document with both numbered and
unnumbered paragraphs. 

Context dependency doesn't serve any function. If I turn a toolbar on it is
reasonable for me to expect it to remain on. Context dependency overrides
express directions through the view menu (initially it doesn't but after 
clicking on a numbered paragraph context dependency takes over).  I hate it.

Context Sensitivity is one of OO's key features, thus this behaviour will NOT be
changed at all.

Closed.

This needs to be addressed.  To disallow users manual control over their
workspace, including and especially toolbars, is absolutely unacceptable.  That
it has been summarily dismissed all these years is an embarrassment.
