Sorry didn't read comment #2 carefully enough. Set status back to unconfirmed and OS to Windows.

1.  The original problem report is not clear.
2.  If the "problem" is that the sidebar in Calc can have different widths, then wasn't that the intended design?   It works that way for me.
3.  Have reported an enhancement for Writer (bug #128180) to allow each deck to "keep" its width (as set), and not to change its width to the current width of the shown deck.  
4.  Have tested the same problems reported in #128180 with Calc and can report similar characteristics.  That is:

     a.  Styles and Gallery Decks can be made with 0-width decks.  (The other decks -- Properties, Navigator, Functions -- have a certain minimum width they will accept)

    b.   Example of how width stays the same across decks.
           i.  Make the Gallery (or Function) Deck very narrow.
           ii. Switch to Property Deck
           iii.  Switch back to the (previously narrow) Gallery (or Function) deck
           iv.   See that the width of the Gallery deck changes now to the width of Property.

Maybe this "bug" should be changed to an "enhancement" request for Calc to allow Decks to keep their width?

Comment 9 andreas_k 2019-10-18 08:45:23 UTC
I think there should be a general HIG for the sidebar
Option 1: defined sidebar default size (where all decks will work with)
Option 2: each deck can have there defined default size

In general I'm for Option 1 cause it's easier to develop and test for an specific default size.

Comment 11 Heiko Tietze 2020-06-30 15:05:37 UTC
This request is not clear to me. Do you want one size for all sidebar tabs (terminology at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Guidelines/SideBar) or an individual minimum/maximum size?
Comment 12 andreas_k 2020-06-30 15:13:10 UTC
One width per application which is defined so that if you do ui work you have the definition width. 

In addition it didn't look professional when the sidebar jump between gallery, property, styles, ...
