Customized and placed toolbar will not display by default

#1

In my UI configuration, I have a toolbar placed across the bottom of the interface, above the status bar.
I have the Find toolbar placed there, and then also the Navigation toolbar next to it which I’ve customized with some useful functions I use frequently.

The problem I’m trying to solve is that in more recent releases, the customized Navigation toolbar no longer shows up by default. Every time I start Writer, I have to View > Toolbars > Navigate, and then it appears where I placed it as expected.

Writer 7.3.2.2, Windows x64

Am I missing a “Save Toolbar Layout” or some such input to get it to always display by default as I want it to?

It works for me in my LO 7.3.2 portable version. I can switch on the toolbar, I can move it (after unlock the position), and it appears at the next start of the LO. The position of the toolbar will be locked again after the restart.

Thanks for the idea, and some config issue did occur to me. But everything in my configuration including Paths seems in order, and other local config-related features like Templates, spelling dictionaries, etc. are working fine, so I don’t think I have a general permissions/access issue.

I decided to work around this by adding most of the same buttons I had added to the Navigation toolbar to the Find toolbar, and that is working fine across sessions. So, it seems clear I was running into some subtle bug, but worked around it, and not worth the effort to try to pin it down.

For me, if I lock the toolbar, it is persistent across sessions and rebooting.

As mentioned above, my solution was to work around it…
