Priority: medium
Bug ID: 83026
CC: [email protected]
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Sidebar should open on the left side in accordance
with the GNOME HIG
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: ux-advise
Product: LibreOffice
The new (in-development) GNOME HIG specifies:
"Organize visual elements from top-to-bottom and left-to-right. This is the
direction that people from western locales tend to read an interface, so that
the items at the top-left will be encountered first. This ordering gives
interfaces a hierarchy: those components that are viewed first are perceived to
have priority over those that come after them. For this reason, you should
place dominant controls above and to the left of the controls and content that
they affect."
Since the sidebar controls content in the viewing window, it should be placed
on the right by default in Writer and Calc. In Draw and Impress it should be
placed between the slide/page switcher and the viewing window in order to
follow the HIG.
