Problem/Motivation
Regarding the Settings Tray toolbar section, from @xjm #2732443-34: Finalize the behavior for triggering view/edit/build modes from the toolbar (and fix the "disappearing toolbar"):
When I toggle the "Manage" or "Shortcuts" buttons on the toolbar, their relevant elements are exposed and hidden. I can also just switch to another button by clicking on it.
When I toggle Edit mode, the whole toolbar disappears. I cannot toggle directly into a different section; instead I have to figure out how to turn off editing mode to get my toolbar back.
I thought this was a major bug when testing the patch. Apparently it is by design? I'd encourage us to reconsider whether we can just make it behave like other toolbar buttons, because it seems really broken (and was bad user experience at least for this user) for the top-level toolbar I rely on to vanish.

tedbowJust to be clear. I create the issue because it was part of larger issue that is broken up into sub-issues. I don't actually think the current design has a probelm
I am not sure remove the items in the toolbar as outlined is really a WTF.
I believe when #2773601: Display "You are now in edit mode" prompt when user enters edit mode: Display is in the user will know they are in a different mode and how to get out.
There was also no mention as far as I know that this ever came up in user testing.
Also in the 10 months in has been in core as an experimental module it has also never come up.

tedbowClosing this as works as designed. I have done at least 3 reviews with the UX meeting about various aspects of Settings Tray. Running through the module we have determined that removing the items is the way it should work
