It is not Bulldust, we are not here to work on the Silverstripe
project, we are the LibreOffice project.
If you wish to submit it as a bug to the Silverstripe project, please
feel free. I however don't feel the need.
And in my opinion it is poorly implemented UI, it may seem like bull
to you, but I feel that is a hindrance to my web experience.

Are you suggesting that it should be easy to change? If so I might
consider submitting a bug.

I am not Bashing Silverstripe, I am simply raising my concerns
regarding the web infrastructure that we are using, which we can
hopefully fix.
We are the website team and I would expect that everyone on the team
raises all issues they find in order to improve the systems that we
use.
I am sorry you don't feel that way about a bug report, but I encourage
you to also look critically at all the tools we are using, it's only
healthy.
