Problem description: The small toolbar with the two green arrows keeps coming back after certain actions, such as inserting a header, even though it has been closed via the menu once before (which usually keep other toolbars from coming back) Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert a header in an empty document using the little blue assistant that appears when hovering over the top of the page 2. The navigation toolbar appears 3. The toolbar can be closed by right-clicking or in the menu, but nothing keeps it from coming back if a page header is inserted once again Current behavior: Expected behavior: Platform (if different from the browser): Windows 7
I can confirm this. I'm using version 3.5.5.3 on Ubuntu 12.04. I also have the navigation toolbar occsionally appear when I insert footnotes. It does not always appear, but does frequently enough to be an annoyance.
Actually, after playing around with it for a bit I've realized that the navigation toolbar appears everytime I add a footnote (if I close it, it will appear again upon adding the next new footnote).
Still a problem in 3.6.0.2.
Confirmed with: LO 3.6.3.1 Build ID: f8fce0b Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit
This bug is still extant in version 4.0.0.2 (on Ubuntu 12.04).
Present with: libreoffice-4.0.3.3.5-2.1 openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 Reproducible as in comment #2
Still present in version 4.2.4.2. Since no developer has commented yet: is this not considered an undesirable behavior? I, at least, cannot see the logic in re-opening a toolbar the user has closed everytime the user creates a footnote; it's simply an annoyance.
Created attachment 113253 [details] Screenshot Screenshot of the problem as it occurs after having created a header.
Still present in Version: 4.4.0.3 Build ID: 40m0(Build:3) Ubuntu 14.04 i386 It occurs for me everytime I create and delete a header or a footer, and also when I create a footnote/endnote.
It occurs whenever I click on a heading in the sidebar navigator. Still happens in today's release: 4.4.3.2 This is real nuisance because: 1. the toolbar steals something like a quarter inch from the height of the viewport (to no good purpose); 2. it requires three clicks to get rid of it each time it shows up (i.e. each time I click on a heading in the sidebar navigator).
Since 5.1 this toolbar is docked next to the formatting toolbar. should fix the issue.
(In reply to Samuel Mehrbrodt (CIB) from comment #11) > Since 5.1 this toolbar is docked next to the formatting toolbar. should fix > the issue. This is not fixed in 5.1. It might default to being docked next to the formatting toolbar, but the user could always just dock the bar anyhow. The issue therefore remains: a (in my opinion useless) navigation toolbar appears each time certain actions (like inserting a footnote) are taken. Even once the user closes it, it simply appears again.

Hi Samuel, Indeed it is much better when the tool bar doesn't pop up somewhere floating. However there should be a way to disable the automatic display. When you disable the too lbar Image or Table via the menu, it will not pop up automatic. That does not happen with the navigation tool bar. So, sorry, I reopen this issue. (I've no idea honestly, when this tool bar appears. Sometimes with numbers, headings, Navigator.. It just happens..)

This feature is still present in v. 5.4.2.2. I join the majority of those who have posted here: The navigation bar is completely useless, as it does not even what it is supposed to do; and if it did, it would not provide an enhancement over the navigator, which is always available. Moreover, one or two little arrow heads occupy an entire toolbar and, thus, precious space. It is impossible to transfer the symbols to another bar or to combine this bar in one column or row with another symbol bar (as it is possible with other symbol bars). Please remove the navigation bar; or else, if you are so fond of it, at least allow the user to permanently disable it.
This bug has a long history (first reported for LO 3.5) and has been discussed in the following bug reports: 49710 (the present one) 98762 (apparently a newer report) 115817 and possibly (depending on what exactly is meant there) in 43220. Using 115817, Heiko Tietze writes: Discussed this in the design meeting. The implementation might have room for improvement, ie. position/popup of controls, but the functionality itself is not questioned. So we keep it, perhaps in the future not as a standalone toolbar. 1) Merge the bug discussions relating to the same issue. 2) The functionality has been questioned by several users. It is opaque where exactly one is led by a click on the arrow head. (I could propose a more transparent and practical solution.) 3) The design and behavior of the bar have been rightly criticized by many people: a) The two arrowheads constitute an entire icon bar by themselves and cannot be moved to another bar. Thus, they occupy too much space. b) The bar keeps popping up even if the user has disabled it in the View > Icon bars menu. It would seem to be time that the developer reacts to rational argument.

Sorry for the repetition. How can one delete one's own comment?
