          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 83202
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: duplicate tools/toolbars: in the sidebar and 'normal'
          Severity: minor
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.2.5.2 release
         Component: Libreoffice
           Product: LibreOffice

in addition to selecting / activating one of the groups in the sidebar, the
same functions/tools can be invoked from the pull-down-menues (e.g.
(View->)Navigator(F5), or (Tools->)Gallery) so I may have two areas/sub-windows
with identical functionality

for me, this is a bug - or is it intended to be an (not yet documented) feature
??

also, in the side-bar -> properties I find a selection of things I usually
invoke via Format -> Cells; this looks confusing to me.

Having a choice to 'dock' some functions/sub-windows at the left-hand border of
the main window is a really interesting and valueable feature (I do very much
appreciate the configurable set of sub-windows - docked or independent - in
some programming environments, e.g. in Eclipse), but the side-bar as it is now
is primarily confusing rather than being helpful.

Please consider to drop _this_ kind of side-bar (which I never saw/never used
before) or try to advance to a kind of layout which is totally configurable,
with multiple docked or independent sub-windows (i.e. 'eclipse-like'), which -
I know - would not be easy to build.

Thanks a lot.

Carsten
