When you are new to a program and don't know what a certain structure is
for or need more infos, you right-click on it to see the context menu -
indeed. But as we don't have a context menu, nothing happens and the
user is lost.
I didn't understand why the math-panel dialog was dropped. The new
sidebar is a nicht thing, but the dialog should stay to be opened on
right-click.
Personally I only use the sidebar very rarely but I use it from time to
time. I don't want to have the sidebar to be shown every time when I'm
in a formula, so I deactivate it in the View menu. But when I now need
to use it anyway, right-click on a formula to open a dialog is much
easier than to reactivate the sidebar just for this single usage.
So if the math-panel dialog would stay as it was, independently from the
sidebar, everything would be fine.
You would achieve the exact same result if we activate the math bar on
right-click, and the math extension bar too for the matter. Problem is
that it's not easy to get rid of it.
Anyway, now is not the right time to complain. Hopefully the context
menu will be implemented not too far in the future.
