Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Hi,
The toolbars on openoffice are behaving erratically and do not appear to remember any settings. Example: if you change from drawing something. such as a box, then decide to type something - the toolbar for the formating disappear and reappear. This causes the whole screen to toggle backwards and forwards, which makes it very hard to read or actually use the tools. I am sure this could be classified as a feature - but really it is a bug.
I am using Ubuntu 7.10 / openoffice 2.3 on AMD64.
Let me know if you need any more information,
Thanks,
James
TESTCASE
1) Launch oodraw
2) Select the "Line" tool
3) Drag the "Line and Filling" (2nd toolbar from the top) to a new location.
4) Select the "Text" tool. The "Line and Filling" toolbar will hide and the "Text Formatting" toolbar will become visible. The "Text Formatting" toolbar will be in the default location instead of the same location as the "Line and Filling" toolbar. It appears to the user that the formatting toolbar has reset its position.
5) Select the "Line" tool again and the "Line and Filling" toolbar will reappear in the location it was dragged to. The user now thinks the toolbar is jumping around the screen erratically.

Just to clarify - the toolbars do not remember their position.
Example: if you put the formatting bar on the right hand side of the screen and then using the drawing tools - the formatting toolbar magically moves back to the top of the screen.
