I can confirm that in Base the toolbars are added and removed automatically as you move between different sections of the UI. This has been a design of the module since day one. 

Personally I would like to see energy into creating newer style tabbed toolbars that work with Base bits (tables,queries,forms,reports) and keep this automatic management feature.

@Vera : I'm not sure I understand what I am supposed to be seeing:

Repeated Step 2 : OK, but this just sets a default minimalist greyed-out toolbar for me with 

Version: 6.1.2.1
Build ID: 65905a128db06ba48db947242809d14d3f9a93fe
Threads CPU : 4; OS : Mac OS X 10.13.6; UI Render : par défaut; 
Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded

If I switch between the four modes (Table/Query/Form/Report) the default greyed out minimalist toolbar remains displayed, I can't even deactivate the entry in Display - UI - Standard Toolbar.

So, I'm not sure that I'm reproducing what you are seeing ? Have I misunderstood ?
Comment 3 Vera Blagoveschenskaya 2018-10-10 09:09:02 UTC
Please see screen1 (toolbar after setting up all possible options) and screen2 (toolbar after changing object Table->Queries->Forms->Reports).

Expected result: I set up all possible options and want to see them always.

Thanks Vera - confirming.
Comment 7 Alex Thurgood 2018-10-10 11:31:04 UTC
Switching between the modules within Base always only displays the corresponding module toolbar, even if all have been selected under the corresponding menu entry.

Either these are indeed only ever context sensitive, in which case, we shouldn't allow the user to choose them all via the main Display menu, or else they're not context sensitive when that option is activated, in which case all toolbars should be visible.

@Heiko : one for some UX advice ?

My take is to remove the checkboxes. It's more consistent with other modules when toolbars show up depending on the context rather than a user setting. It makes no sense to show query options when you are in forms mode.

My comment 8 is to remove the checkboxes from the menu.
