Bug ID: 150489
Summary: Drop separate docking Elements window, and use Sidebar
instead
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Formula Editor

In 7.4, a sidebar was implemented for Math (as part of tdf#125931), with
Elements deck on it [1].
IMO, it's time (in 7.5 release cycle) to drop the separate Elements docking
window shown on the right side, in the same spirit as commit
b4558b508141af16d335f45a0f12bdd34521e944 did in 2014 for Writer and Impress.
The sidebar has already been made open by default [2], and Elements was made
the default deck on it [3], so users will have the same set of controls shown
on screen by default.
IMO, the idea to have separate window with elements, side by side with other
(potential) decks open at the same time, belongs to the sidebar panel undocking
functionality implementation (bug 85905). We made an exclusion for the
Navigator panel implemented both as sidebar and separate window (see discussion
in bug 73151), because removing stand-alone Navigator would *break* already
existing workflow with several windows open at the same time; there is no such
breakage in Math Elements panel case, and the imagined improvement with several
windows (bug 125931) should, as mentioned, be implemented as undocking sidebar
panel functionality.
