I think we have this issue reported already. AFAIK problem is that fix is complicated and whole our toolbar code needs complete rewrite for several years, but it's nearly impossible to allocate time for such house keeping things.
there's 'reset toolbars' action that can help in such situations *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 140863 ***
Another workaround could be to use Eclipse which implements a correct behavior for a 'platform' window manager :-) Rest is not a good solution as it destroys all the ui windows setting, not only the toolbar
