Readers,

When opening a document and a particular object becomes visible (e.g.
a table) a floating toolbar appears (e.g. table toolbar).

How to configure LO to stop this behaviour?

next time the unwanted toolbar appears, just close it (with the x
button on the top right corner). If you ever need the toolbar again,
you can activate it again by using "View > Toolbars".


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'.
