            Bug ID: 136382
           Summary: Unusual and confusing appearance and behaviour of
                    Calc's Media Playback toolbar
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.2 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: stevemfanning.wh at gmail.com

Description:
The appearance and behaviour of Calc’s Media Playback toolbar is very strange
and would benefit from a review by the LibreOffice Design and User Experience
team.

There are several oddities about this item:
1. With most Calc toolbars you can right-click anywhere to access the toolbar’s
associated menu. Unusually, for this toolbar it appears that you can only
right-click over the Insert Audio or Video icon at the left of the toolbar.
2. When you access the right-click menu, and click on the Visible Buttons
entry, there is a menu item with no text on it. This menu item seems to control
whether the various media controls (Play, Pause, Stop, Repeat, Position, Mute,
Volume, etc) are display but with no label on the button, this is not very
intuitive. See attachment.
3. When the option without the label is deselected then another blank menu item
appears in the top level of the toolbar’s menu. See attachment.
4. It is unusual for one menu option in a toolbar’s menu to switch on / off the
display of multiple controls in the user interface. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Access the Media Playback toolbar by going to View > Toolbar > Media Playback
on the Menu bar.
2. Access the toolbar's menu by right-clicking on the leftmost icon on the
toolbar
3. Click on the Visible Buttons menu option.

Actual Results:
As described in the Summary above.

Expected Results:
Behaviour consistent with the user's expectation and the rest of the Calc user
interface.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
