Steps To Reproduce1. Create new toolbar
2. Edit and rearrange toolbar buttons
3. Move toolbar to a custom location
4. Exit and start Freecad again
5. Observe that toolbars are "lost"

Toolbar positions are saved for a certain workbench only. You might need to change the default start workbench in the preferences to the workbench where you added the custom toolbars...

Yes, only in workbench that is set as default under Start up (FreeCAD preferences) the toolbars will persist its position after restart of FreeCAD. This is known limitation and not necessary a bug somebody will fix soon. At least that is how i understand it from past explanations.

There is one "trick" you can use. Create custom toolbars and use the same name for toolbars in different workbenches. All toolbars in different workbenches with the same name as the name of the toolbar in Start up workbench will have the same position. For example all toolbars named left_edge will persist on left edge if the toolbar named left_edge in Start up workbench will be positioned on the left edge.

Is 0002247 a dupe ?

As per @triplus in https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=20165#p155442
When i finish the work on NavigationIndicator i will evaluate if PersistentToolbars module should be upstreamed. If that will happen this issue should be resolved.

Kunda1, you asked me on 0002247 to retest on FreeCAD 0.16 and to post the info about my FreeCAD copy, I will answer here because the other bug is closed.

Retest on FreeCAD 0.16. To test it, I opened the Part Design from the default startup page and just played around with the toolbar. After a minute, I closed FreeCAD and reopened. In the newly opened instance, I picked Part Design again and the toolbar was as I had customized it, which is good! However, I changed it a bit more, repeated, and then the changes were not saved. Perhaps I should ask, what is the trigger for FreeCAD to save a toolbar modification? The modification itself doesn't seem to be triggering this.

Now, on to my FreeCAD copy data:

OS: Linux
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.16.Unknown
Build type: Release
Python version: 2.7.13
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 3.1.3
OCC version: 6.9.1

@severoraz See 0002061:0007933
triplus is referring to a macro called PerisitentToolbars: https://github.com/triplus/PersistentToolbars
It can be installed via
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons#installing
but I'm not sure it fully works yet.
