Table toolbar: move to sidebar when table selected

In Impress, when the user inserts a table (or when he/she clicks on an existing
table), the default behavior is to enable the "Table" toolbar at the bottom.
The problem with this is that, when the toolbar is displayed, the slide is
moved up, and then when the table is deselected, the slide moves back down.

I don't consider this to be a smooth experience, because when the user clicks
something and the slide position changes, then whatever is beneath the mouse
pointer changes and the user has to move the mouse again to where he/she was
actually interested. Also, when the slide requires constantly clicking a table
and contents outside the table, this moving up and down becomes annoying.

So, I would like to suggest simply disabling this default behavior. So, when
the user inserts or selects a table, this toolbar remains hidden (unless the
user manually enables it by going to View > Toolbars > Table).

This won't cripple functionality, since all the buttons from the toolbar are
already available in the "Table" tab (except for the "Delete Table" button,
that could be added to the tab).

Another possibility would be to move the commands in the Table toolbar to the
sidebar, above the Table Design section (see attached image).
