Bug ID: 145170
Summary: Anomalous Behaviour Concerning Mixing Ctrl+F5 Keyboard
Shortcut and Hide/Show Panel Button
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice

In Writer there are several ways that the Sidebar Panel can be hidden or shown.
One of those ways is to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F5 to toggle Hide/Show.
Another way is to use the Panel Hide/Show button. However, there is what I
would think is anomalous behaviour if these two methods are mixed as follows:
1. Hide the Panel using the Hide/Show button. This retracts the entire Panel
with exception that the Hide/Show button is still visible.
2. Now lets say you want to open the Panel again but this time you use the
Ctrl+F5 keyboard shortcut to show the Panel. What actually happens is as
follows:
(a) The first press of Ctrl+F5 causes the Panel to fully retract i.e. the Panel
Hide/Show button is retracted.
(b) You think something is wrong as you wanted to show the Panel so you press
Ctrl+F5 a second time and then the Panel extends outwards and is shown again
(which was what you were trying to achieve at the outset).
So it would seem that the Ctrl+F5 shortcut interprets a Panel hidden via the
Panel Hide/Show button as being a Panel that is not in fact hidden at all. So,
in that instance the first Ctrl+F5 keypress hides the Panel.
I don't think things should be happening in that way. Ctrl+F5 routine should
recognise when the panel has already been hidden by the Panel Hide/Show button
and should show the full Panel on the first Ctrl+F5 keypress. I would regard
that as 'expected behaviour'.
The same 'issue' occurs in at least Calc, Draw and Impress.
