Losing skills in toolbar

When I'm doing ground assaults I keep losing my skills in the toolbar. Is there a way to lock the bar so this doesn't happen?

    I'm getting this issue as well. I lose the three most important skills. Guess we need to bug it.

    Prior to this both my brothers and one niece were getting this issue, but I wasn't. Instead I was getting the one where you switch from space to ground or vice versa and then you would only have one row of trays open. All of a sudden though I have been getting this problem.

    It seems related to upping the skill levels or adding powers after a level up.

    Same here... Everytime I beam down to a planet I have to setup my bar again. What a pain in the a$$

    I'm almost certain that it's to do with levelling up the skill.

    Tested it on my BOs Science Team skill. Went back and it wasn't in my hot key. Very annoying and I hope it gets changed.

    One of the things that may be doing it. I discovered that when you increase a powers rank it has a tendency to disappear from your hot bat. But yes I've found I will also accidentally drag a power out of the hotbar. Locking it would be a welcome addition.

    Same issue here in space combat with Emergency Power to Shields which proved nearly fatal at times :p

    Wait wait wait... you CAN'T lock the action bar presently? That's a ridiculously large oversight to make. You could lock an action bar way the hell back in City of Heroes. As I remember, you could lock them in Champions online as well. How does one forget this very basic function? I was just hunting for a way to lock it down after having twice dragged my Rifle Butt off by accident in the middle of a fight, as well as my fabricate phaser cannon. So an enemy is closing with me, and I'm spamming my 1 key, and wondering why I'm not smacking the guy in front of me... til.. "Hell's teeth! It's not in the bar! Dammit!"

    Add a function you devs to lock it down. That's an unconscionable oversight to have made.

    ok my hope is this that they make sevral mapable tool bars for those of us with more than one ship.
    and that they fix this dang probem where I have to remap before every ground or space confrontation .

    Great I'm not the only one.. my ground skills disappear every time I beam down somewhere. Filed a couple of bug reports but no replies yet. Hopefully this next patch locks the skills. I beamed into a group of rampaging Klingons and nearly got killed while trying to setup the skill bar for the hundredth time..
    :(
