            Bug ID: 144227
           Summary: Inconsistent method of user interface selection in
                    Calc's Groupedbar Compact format
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

Screen grab showing User Interface menu in Calc's Groupedbar Compact layout.

In most cases within Calc, user interface selection is achieved via the Select
Your Preferred User Interface dialog. In the default "Standard Toolbar" user
interface layout, this dialog is accessed via View > User Interface...

However, after selecting the "Groupedbar Compact" layout, Calc doesn't make the
dialog avaiable but instead provides a cascading User Interface menu accessed
via the Menu button on the right of the layout. This inconsistency seems
unnecessary and potentially confusing for the user. (See attachment)

A big advantage of using the Select Your Preferred User Interface dialog is the
description and preview of a layout before you select it. And, as often happens
when the same function is implemented in two ways, the cascading menu does not
offer one of the options that is available through the dialog (i.e. Contextual
Single").

Please review and check whether consistency would be desirable?
