Right click somewhere on the toolbar -> Uncheck Lock toolbar position

Thank you Telsto. Sorry, I couldn't find that in the help.

No thanks needed :P. FWIW: still consider this a bug. In the sense people decided to make it locked by default: hiding the drag handle

And currently unlock being limited to a single toolbar only. So you have to unlock everything separately

And seeing you're bug report & conformation of m.a.riosv as kind of proof :P. But likely needs an army of users to convince Heiko and cum suis at UX.
Comment 5 Mike 2020-12-21 00:33:24 UTC
In the light of Telsto's comment #4, which makes eminently good sense, I've reopened this problem report. It's clearly a design flaw.
Comment 6 Telesto 2020-12-21 07:36:26 UTC
Oops, no need to convince Heiko (talking about me and generalizing) bug 92484 c16
I'm still prefer the old way.. see this bug and bug 131817 I'm aware re-starting the topic not really the way
Comment 7 Ming Hua 2020-12-21 08:41:00 UTC
IMO the help documentation should be improved to reflect the current situation that toolbars are locked by default, regardless whether and how the UX team decides to further change the toolbar behaviors.

Was Mike reading this help page:
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/shared/guide/floating_toolbar.html
?

Yes.

Specifically I did a search for "undocking toolbar" and got no useful suggestions so I then searched for "docking toolbar" and got to the page which you mention. On that page the nearest to talking about locking toolbars is "Toolbars are hidden by default when the Notebook bar is active." but I don't have the notebook bar active.

On that page it says:
  To Make a Toolbar a Floating Toolbar
    Click the handle at the start of the toolbar, and drag the toolbar into the document.

I would heartily endorse Telsto's suggestions in bug 131817 - particularly 2, 3 4nd 4.
