Comment 3 for bug 1248487

I’m not proposing that open_toolbar close it first, I’m proposing that if it’s already open the emulator does some sort of interaction with it (details to be figured out) to ensure it won’t autohide.

Your proposal works for click_button(), but what if I want to interact differently with the toolbar. E.g., what if the toolbar contains a TextField, or some other widget? I will still want to ensure that when I call open_toolbar(), it remains open.
