Bring back the toolbar for File Edit Select View Insert Arrange Share Help

 

Not sure who thought it was a good idea to hide these options under the new “three bar” icon next to the guide title, but I would like it back the old way.

 

Here’s another post that describes the change:

Yes, please bring back the tool bar.

Please reinstate the tool bar!! It was much easier to navigate, having to use the dropdown is far less intuitive. It was perfect before - why fix something that’s not broken!!

Did people actually ask for the toolbar to be collapsed. I am now clicking so much more then I used to or need to. This is killing my productivity.

Please, please, please bring back the file menu toolbar.  Let it be an option for people to hide it or show it.  Not great to force it to be hidden by default, and no way to bring it back.  It takes 3 times longer to navigate than in the past.  Not an improvement in my mind.

Does Lucid use UX to gather user experience before making changes like these? I find a lot of applications these days are just making changes without getting the users perspective first.  UX can ceretain help with that.  I have upvoted this idea btw.

Oh My!!! didn’t you know that CLICKS TAKE TIME!!!. Nothing like increasing our work load! PLEASE bring back the menu bar. Even providing hot keys for ALL items is NOT good enough. Hands can be busy and break the flow. Just like having to click on the hamburger and scroll and click and scroll. Please make the Menu Bar optional to be turned ON as it was.

Upvoted.

Please bring back the toolbar.  Its not intuitive it being buried in the 3 line stack and adds an extra layer of complexity.

Please at least let it be a user defined setting so people can either leave it there, or toggle it back to being a toolbar that most people are used to dealing with.
