The 'Text' toolbar can be seen in the Tools - Customize - Toolbars but is not displayed in the View - Toolbars menu of Draw So the user interface cannot select this toolbar for display, at least in by an average user. Code pointer: .uno:AvailableToolbars
Text toolbar not available in Writer either. Version: 7.3.2.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 49f2b1bff42cfccbd8f788c8dc32c1c309559be0 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-AU (en_AU); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded
The reason why this toolbar is hidden is because its property "HideFromToolbarMenu" is set to True in DrawWindowState.xcu. Changing this property to false will show the toolbar again. See https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/DrawWindowState.xcu?r=4f756024#618 This bug is very simple to fix... however I wonder if there's any special reason why this toolbar was explicitly hidden from the tool bar.
