Automagically appearing toolbars

[xeres]

I've been using NeoOffice2 Aqua Beta for about a week now. So far, so good. That is, until last night. Along with many random crashes, I now have the context sensitive toolbars appearing in tables and bulleted lists.

The tables were created in the documents before I switched from Neo1 to Neo2 - but the lists were *never* created as such. All I had was a number followed by a period and a tab. I don't want this formatted as a list but now NeoOffice2 is doing so and I must remove this "formatting feature".

I deleted the preferences and started afresh to no avail (although the crashes are noticeably fewer). Is there any way to turn off these "features"? Tools-->Customize-->Toolbars doesn't turn off the toolbar, it only edits what appears in the toolbar. It is annoying to have this tool bar pop up and cover the cell I am editing. Docking the toolbar takes up valuable real estate on my 12" PowerBook.

Yes, if you removed your preferences you'll see the toolbars crop up.

OOo 1.x had the toolbars appearing within the window after other toolbars by default. In OOo 2.0 the default is to have them pop up as new windows. Really annoying if you ask me. You need to "dock" each toolbar within a document window in order to prevent the new windows from being created.

I'm still experiencing this behaviour when I have something that looks like this:

4.<tab>Text-of-a-physics-problem-here... <return>
<tab>more-text-of-problem-here

I have the tab set to a hanging indent. Quite often I use another <return><tab> and then more text. This is where the <return> triggers the bulleted list. I do not want the following section to be numbered.

I just noticed that if I type a double return then I am popped out of the bulleted list mode. Unintuitive.

It didn't happen until last evening - I've been editing documents all week long - and this is when all the crashing began to occur. It is conincidental, certainly, but I don't know why the bulleting behaviour should change.

I'm installing the patch and docking toolbars as necessary. Again, it would be great to have a way to make them disappear as a default as I don't have the vertical space to spare with visual clutter.

Thanks for the help so far!

Off-hand, it sounds like the part of the prefs that controls auto-formatting might have become corrupt.

See Disabling Automatic Formatting in the wiki. If the appropriate options are chosen and you're still getting auto-lists, your prefs might be corrupt.
