Is it me, or is the bard very hard to find in the admin panel?

I have a system built to use the bard, but boy, it is hard to call the bard in the panel.

At first it shows like this:

Only upon double click it shows:

In an existing post this is what I see: No plus to be seen.

Only after some guessing where to click and then click multiple times.

Honestly: or I have malfunctioning system, or I find it not so user-friendly at all. My clients, mostly not so active web users, will find it hard to 'find' the plus. Isn't there a more user-friendly way to point this out?

Please advise :)
