Description
These two tools are rather paper navigation tools. AFAICS, they have no effects on map composer item, only on the paper zoom level. Thus, they should be with the other navigation tools.

This has been discussed in the past, but it's by design. That toolbar contains "tools" which change the behavior of the mouse interactions. The UI has been modelled off other DTP programs like Inkscape and Illustrator, and it's following the same behaviour they have.
That said - I've just noticed that the composer toolbars have a variety of random names and formatting. I should fix that.

Ok I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the information.
What do you mean by That toolbar contains "tools" which change the behavior of the mouse interactions.? Except "select/move item" and "move item content" that have a special behaviour with the items (particularly map), I can't see cases where "Pan composer" and "Zoom" tools have a particular behaviour but panning or zooming the paper.

I mean it changes what the mouse does. Eg, switching to the zoom tool makes the mouse zoom in/out, switching to the new label tool makes the mouse draw a label. They are all part of the same mutually exclusive group, you can't have two tools active at once.
