--- Comment #2 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
(For me, in gtk3, the Form Controls toolbar is docked before the Standard
toolbar, which is another issue.)

Two different commands are used:
- Form Design Controls and the Form menu both use the UNO command
.uno:SwitchControlDesignMode
- Form Design toolbar uses .uno:SwitchXFormsDesignMode

...which explains why they are not entirely synced.

However, their tooltips are respectively "Design Mode" and "Design Mode
On/Off", which is very prone to confusion. I assume most users would think they
have exactly the same function.

I can reproduce the odd conflict in which the Form Design buttons are available
to add controls but using them has no effect. However, I am not familiar at all
with XML forms, so copying UX team in to have more input.
