Summary0002251: Metabug: Vanishing or silently disabled UI
DescriptionThere's lots of UI that is disabled based on some conditions that may not be immediately obvious to the user, such as when a doc is open. Sometimes it simply vanishes rather than even being displayed (especially anything to do with CMS).

When a feature is not supported, or can not currently be used, it should show up but be disabled and provide an informative indication of why it can not be used. For example, the colour managment prefs should always be present, and have a short explanation of why they can't be enabled along with a button to take the user to the help.

This bug is intended to track these issues. Please file issues for anything like this and mark them related to this bug.
