Draw Tab should not appear when inserting Form Controls

When inserting Form Controls that are present in Tools tab in Writer, Calc and
Impress, either a Draw tab appears after inserting them (in Calc case), or the
focus changes back to the Home tab.

However, the commands to format the Form controls are to the right of the Form
controls. These commands should be highlighted after introducing a Form
Control.
This Youtube video highlights what the different Form Controls do and how the
right-most commands are used to format the Form Controls:

Proposal:

1 - After inserting a Form Control, do not move focus from Tools Tab. Commands
used to format the Form Controls are in Tools Tab.

2 - Do not show a Draw tab in Calc when inserting a Form Control - this is
confusing since it is unrelated to Form Controls,

3 - Show text legends for Form Control editing commands (the right-most
commands highlighted in Image 2) to make it easier for users to know what each
command does.

The Form Control formatting commands that require text legends are:
Control Properties,
Form Properties,
Activation Order,
Form Navigator,
Open in Design Mode,
Automatic Control Focus.
