The toolbar is not really disabled. It is in the same state as if
there was no buffer loaded, right?
Here is the relevant explanation in the code:
/* In LyX/Mac, when a dialog is open, the menus of the
application can still be accessed without giving focus to
the main window. In this case, we want to disable the menu
entries that are buffer-related.
Note that this code is not perfect, as bug 1941 attests:
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1941#c4
*/
Buffer * buf;
if (cmd.origin == FuncRequest::UI && !owner->hasFocus())
buf = 0;
else
buf = owner->buffer();
The problem comes from the fact that the Dialog controller invokes
BufferView::update() at some points I have no control on and at these
points the code guesses wrong. This explanation is not clear, but if
it was, I would probably be able to fix the bug.
