[Libreoffice-ux-advise] drawing toolbar interactions

I'm for it. Double clicking seems really unintuitive and rather
undiscoverable to me. Some other apps do the same – I know that eg the
CAD software Catia does, but in Catia the double clicked icon turns
orange to show it is in a special mode which is a bit better than
LibreOffice's current behaviour.

This sounds good, but additionally this should work by clicking the
same icon again (I'd guess most users won't click on the little mouse
cursor icon first).
