cant add items to toolbar

more options

When trying to add items to Toolbar via 'Customise' i.e. add print symbol to header- just shows no entry sign wherever I try to drag it to - I also can't reorder the items by 'click and drag'. These problems occurred recently, presumably an update was added automatically and reset my settings.

Hi SFHowes

I didn't try your idea because I continued (in desperation) to try to resolve the problem which weirdly I did by opting to change the toolbar to the right hand side which then allowed me to make the changes.

I then switched back so the toolbar was back on the top and the changes didn't disappear. As a test I tried to make other changes (additions/deletions of items) and it worked fine. Obviously some 'gremlins in me binary'.

Thanks for taking the time to try and resolve for me - much appreciated
