Toolbar is always hidden at startup when Headerbar plugin is active
When the GTK3 Headerbar plugin is enabled, the "Hide toolbar" setting gets ignored at startup(the toolbar isn't visible even if the setting is unchecked). After ticking the box on and off the toolbar is visible.
That this option is even available in the preferences when the Headerbar plugin is active makes no sense to me, actually. Why would you want to show that toolbar when it's redundant with the headerbar and hamburger menu anyway?
Why is the toolbar redundant when using the headerbar, but not when using the traditional menu style? It's possible to access everything from the toolbar in the traditional menu too.
I just like having the toolbar because it makes it faster to access the functions I need most often(1 click vs 3 when using the hamburger menu).
If issue #784 was solved by having the "New subscription" and "Update all" actions into the headerbar (instead of "Mark all read"), I believe you would not need the toolbar (unless you're a huge fan of "Mark all read" but you can still access that directly with a right-click onto the concerned feed, so I don't think it's a big loss compared to the safety gains) and that in that case this issue here could be closed because an additional toolbar would not be necessary, as it would have the same contents as the headerbar.
Given that the headerbar plugin is not the standard way and "only" an extra bolt-on plugin I believe this inconsistency is ok. This is a trade off of allowing the header bar use case to live alongside the classic UI.
