Indeed, I missed that

Possibly. The core problem is the focus issue (at least how I see it). When
clicking an item (say bold) inside a the floating sidebar, the main window
loses focus (gray). I'm always click inside the document to recover the focus.
Which disables BOLD. 

The current way to recover the focus properly
1. Press CTRL+F6 (see bug 120231 comment 1)
2. Click Main window gray bar (to grab focus)

Both options are not obvious in IMHO. I prefer the behavior of the floating
"Font color" or the Font work toolbar
