The sidebar is no /more/ encouraging than the existing toolbars. This, and other concerns about the sidebar encouraging the use of direct formatting can be addressed by enhancement fdo#65351 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65351> . bitigçi wrote > Sidebar should be redesigned, merging Sidebar, Styles and Formatting and > Navigator into one panel. This is already the case. There are buttons down the side to select the various panels. bitigçi wrote > Now it is possible to open Sidebar, S&F and Navigator separately. The idea of launching/retrieving the various panels and perhaps subpanels to/from the sidebar is a central issue raised by Mirek. bitigçi wrote > All Buttons should be rearranged, giving users more horizontal space. A better idea would be to simply improve the wrapping capability so that the sidebar could be set to a required width and have the content more elegantly adjust automatically. This will be contingent on the content in panels. Buttons and icons (e.g., Properties, Gallery, Master Pages panels) are easier to wrap, while list entries (e.g., Styles and Formatting, Navigator, Custom Animation, Slide Transition panels) have a minimum width requirement.
