            Bug ID: 118621
           Summary: UI: Request for Enhancement: Turn off Footer/Header
                    Menu.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: chr.b at posteo.de

Description:
Note: This is not a bug, it is a request for an enhancement!

In Writer: When You click over/under the page text area, the Header/Footer Menu
pops up, with a smooth fade in / fade out visual effect. 

That is certainly well-meant, but for a user with a little bit experience in
office applications this function is rather useless and annoying than useful.

1. It is annoying, when you add a header/footer with just one unintentional
click on the plus sign. 
2. It is annoying when you want to select table columns when they are at the
top of the page. 
3. It is annoying when a image slide to the header/footer area and you just
want to select it.

Look: 
First: How often do you add a Header or a footer to a text document? At most
just ONE time, if any! Is it really necessary that EVERY time you just work
over text area this menu pops up??
Second: There are other good, easy and intuitive ways to add a header/footer:
   → Menu »Insert« → »Header and Footer« 
   → Navigation Bar → Page → checkbox for header and footer. 

So, my request is:
Please (PLEASE) add a configuration option to turn off that header/footer menu!
Maybe You could add a option in Expert Configurations, I dont mind, but please
make it possible to switch it off!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Click over/under page text area 


Actual Results:
Header/Footer Menu occurs.

Expected Results:
(I want to turn it off.)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
