spreadsheet collecting and graphing rain gauge observations

My operating system: Kubuntu 16.4

Problem: saving an edited file (I use only .ods format) requires a variable amount of clicks on the save icon, usually 3-5 clicks. On the other occasions, a drop-down box opens, requiring me to choose between actions which I do not want to take. There is no specific portion of the icon area where SAVE might take place on the first click. This problem was not present on the CALC version that shipped with Kubuntu 14.4.

This problem is restricted to CALC, and apparently is restricted to spreadsheets created with the older version of CALC. I cannot reproduce it on WRITER at all. 

Desired behavior: clicking on any pixel of the SAVE icon will initiate the "save" action, first time, every time. 
Also desired: facility to remove drop-down boxes from the icon bar, so that icons are shown only for the most frequently used actions. After all, to find an infrequently used action on a drop-down menu is much easier if your screen is large enough - and I don't like to waste time on software behavior that is appropriate for a small cellphone screen on my large desktop screen. Thus, allow me to put infrequently used actions onto the menu, for sheer efficiency in using the software, and to get rid of drop-downs from the icon bar.

I can not confirm with Verze: 5.1.2.2
ID sestavení: 1:5.1.2-0ubuntu1
Vlákna CPU: 4; Verze OS: Linux 4.4; Vykreslování UI: výchozí; 
when I change the file and click icon save, then file is saved.

Split button on standard toolbar is by design.

Direct save is provided by short cut, <Ctrl>+S (as localized, modified by OS/DE) and from Main menu Filet -> Save

Split button behavior can be altered (revert to single button action) from Tools -> Options -> Advanced: Expert Configuration dialog.
