This is already known; this request is to configure LO so that
unwanted toolbars _never_ appear unless they have been requested via
the options in the menu bar. It is an example of unwanted design. The
analogy is with the noscript extension for firefox; if the web page
reader does _not_ want ecmascript code to run, (s)he can configure the
web browser to prevent any ecmascript being activated _by default_ and
code only runs when specifically wanted.

This "feature" of automatically displaying a table toolbar when a
table becomes visible is an annoyance and provides no benefit,
especially frustrating as there is no function to control this
behaviour; it was expected to find such a function in the menu bar
option 'tools'|'auto correct options'.
