The issue is clean: you want to manage multiple toolbar at once, open for
example the Drawing toolbar and closing the Track Changes. You imagine
something like a persistent checkboxlist that allows to toggle as many items as
you like. This means you need some interaction to finalize and accept or cancel
everything. That's not given with menus, and although I've seen hackish
solutions it's not good UX and very unfamiliar (users know that menus close on
click). The follow-up idea was to have this list of checkbox in some dialog,
which also could be the UI chooser, could be an extra tab. This idea was
rejected, as reported in comment 4.

I'll resolve the ticket again since you asked a question. Typically I keep the
reopened ticket open - it's your project, and as commented: if you find
volunteers...
