In my case (LibreOffice Draw) this solution, dated from the OpenOffice.org era, still worked in april 2020.
TL;DR: Upon appearing of the unwanted toolbar, do View > Toolbars and un-check the toolbar. The unwanted toolbar goes away and won't pop up again.
That's not what I need. Whenever I click outside of a textbox the toolbar disappears and everything resizes. That is annoying. I want the toolbar to stay where it is even if there is no text to edit.
I can completely remove it, by going to view->toolbars, but there are tools in there that the sidebar doesn't have (such as insert symbols). I don't want libre office to anticipate my needs. Grey out everything, if it must, but stop making things appear and disappear, please.
By docking the toolbar ( Reattach a Floating Toolbar) it will always be visible whether you are in the table or not.
My apologies. The toolbar remains visible until you re-enter and again leave the table. Checked with v5.1 & 5.2 and both are same. No found bug reports or enhancement requests for this.
As an alternative, create a customized toolbar with the wanted items (Tools->Customize). Just tried this and will remain even when jumping in/out of table.
This has not solved my problem. In Writer, if I'm working on ordinary text, with a toolbar, then when I click a textbox, the textbox toolbar is there (created as Ratslinger suggested). But - and this is my problem - when I double-click to edit the text of a textbox, the toolbar disappears. If I try to customize a toolbar, with text in a textbox highlighted (ie, working with text in a toolbar, rather than just with a toolbar), the toolbar disappears again. Like flumculus, I'm finding this really annoying, and have done for years.
