--- Comment #9 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Things are not being hidden, rather the 'Standard' toolbar is no longer active.

That is when the integrated chart2 editing context view mode is activated it
has its own implementation of the Standard toolbar and the Formatting toolbar. 
They replace the toolbars of the 'normal' view.

As the UI for the chart2 was being reworked, buttons on that toolbar were set
to not shown mode--and the 'standard' and 'formatting' toolbars activated by
chart2 in edit mode were merged onto one line. 

To streamline the UI, unnecessary buttons (for majority of use cases) were
suppressed, not removed.

Yes it is trivial to restore by commit removing the toggle in the UI XML but it
is also trivial for users to do that directly and has been so since 5.0.0. And
changing from default (expanding the chart2 'Standard toolbar) and setting any
visible is persistent and recorded into user profile.

So no need to back track on a dev choice decision done back at the 5.0.0
release. 
Doing so is a bad precedence to second guess implemented features, which chart2
is. 

Rather, it is a a RTM opportunity for users to explore the UI functions--which
ever UI or MUFFIN flavor.

IMHO => NAB and WF
