Description android2772@gmail.com 2019-08-19 23:00:02 UTC
Description:
When you move your cursor from text to bullet, table, or anything else that adds a new bar to the tool-bar. When the new tool bar is added it will push the content of the document down. This is very annoying when you are in the middle of editing the document and the content moves from where you are looking.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add text to a document then make a new line.
2. Make a bullet list.
3. Move your cursor back and forth from the text above and the bullet list.

Actual Results:
The content of the page moves down the screen. This happens no matter where you are viewing the document. Near the top, in the middle, at the end.

Expected Results:
The toolbar should be added above the document and now push the content down.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Toolbars are added below the text, so the problem doesn't appear. I couldn't find, where you can change that setting. But it should work, if you start in safe mode. Can you try it?

You could get this behaviour if you move bullets toolbar in the top. From the buttom. Drag & Drop to the top.

Sigh, this is default behavior of 'contextual' toolbars, they stack and document canvas will shift in the app frame. Several MUFFIN Notebook Bar based enhancments (e.g. bug 125040) and Sidebar Content panels will provide alternatives.

there are single toolbar but also contextual single layout in menubar -> view -> Layout

please check out contextual single this should fix your issue.

@BogdanB I know that you can doc the toolbars up in the top, bottom, or sidebar, but this does not solve the problem as when I move into a table, an image, or whatever adds a toolbar to the mix this problem will still be there. If a toolbar is added to the top bar it will push the content of the page down. 

@Dieter Praas how do I open it in safe mode?

@andreas_k I don't see this single layout in menubar. Regardless I don't think this should be a setting that I have to set. I don't think the app should work this way at all.

Located on the main menu:  View -> User Interface -> Contextual Single

It does not matter too much what individual users think. The dynamic stacking toolbars have been core to the project from inception 20+ years ago--very much the legacy of _how_ the program is designed. 

Patches from users are always welcome...

Otherwise remains DUPLICATE => bug 106846 with some other GUI considerations (e.g. bug 36976 or bug 124835) equally applicable.
