Bug description
Users have reported that when cell inputs in jupyter notebooks become too long, the options for inserting and re-ordering cells disappear (cell toolbar). Specifically, there might be a character limit that triggers this behavior.
How to reproduce
- Open a jupyter notebook and keep typing until the cell toolbar disappears
Expected behaviour
Collapse the toolbar when the character limit is met instead of entirely taking it away.

To insert cell below/above you can use B/A shortcuts when in command mode. To move cells you can use Ctrl + Shift + Arrow Down/Up or drag them using the area to the left of the cell.
