<pre>Description:
UI: Make the option for ability unlock & re position toolbars more obvious.
Follow-up on <a class="bz_bug_link

title="NEW - Disable undock command when toolbar is locked"

Small change, lot's of impact. The current implementation of the locked toolbar
isn't great (unintuitive), IMHO. First thought, what the heck, are the toolbars
changed to fixed position. Regina pointed me to <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED DUPLICATE - UI: Toolbars can't be docked undocked anymore ("
href="show_bug.cgi?id=131770">bug 131770</a>.
Some suggestions/ comments.
1. Show the handle/drag indicator (dotted 'line') at the left, even when the
toolbar is locked. This makes people aware that the toolbar can be dragged in
theory. Yes, I'm aware, it this could be confusing to (drag indicator) without
ability to drag, but people would at least 'search' for a solution, I guess. I
did really think that someone made the toolbars fixed for some reason...
2. Add a right click context menu to the drag indicator (containing lock/unlock
& undock toolbar). The toolbar Right click context menu is already way to long
for netbooks etc. And the lock/unlock toolbar item is easily overlooked. At
least I overlooked it. I stopped looking after first 10 items or so...
Btw, I also nearly never use the Right Click context menu for the toolbar at
all
3. Add a menu entry lock/unlock toolbars to the View -> Toolbars menu
4. Make the lock/unlock setting a 'global' setting. The ability to lock/unlock
toolbars individually is annoying. Example: Draw sidebar unlock is separated
from draw toolbar unlock. At least I don't see the need for individual locked
positions.
5. If we are already at the point of locking things to fixed place, please do
the same for the sidebar.
Why?
A: This would make things consistent
B: I made the sidebar floating unintentionally numerous of times
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Try to drag a toolbar
Actual Results:
The ability to re-order or making toolbars float is totally hidden.
Expected Results:
-
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
