One hint: In older versions of LO all 3 Buttons will do the same. XML Formdocument couldn't be changed by the function, which is included to Form → Design Mode. The only way to get the design mode, which will allow the whole design, is through toolbar on the bottom of the window, "Form Design". (For me, in gtk3, the Form Controls toolbar is docked before the Standard toolbar, which is another issue.) Two different commands are used: - Form Design Controls and the Form menu both use the UNO command .uno:SwitchControlDesignMode - Form Design toolbar uses .uno:SwitchXFormsDesignMode ...which explains why they are not entirely synced. However, their tooltips are respectively "Design Mode" and "Design Mode On/Off", which is very prone to confusion. I assume most users would think they have exactly the same function. I can reproduce the odd conflict in which the Form Design buttons are available to add controls but using them has no effect. However, I am not familiar at all with XML forms, so copying UX team in to have more input.
