Description Tamás Zolnai 2021-01-22 11:05:48 UTC 
Description:
The sidebar always has a context based on the selected object. This context (e.g. text, table, cell) defines what the sidebar should look like. When I double click on a chart, the document steps into chart editing mode and the sidebar also shows chart related options.
The problem comes up when I have two LO windows opened (with two different documents). When I'm editing the chart and in the meantime, I'm switching between the windows, the sidebar fails to show the right chart related option. I need to exit and reenter chart editing mode to get back the right chart related options on the sidebar.
I can see the issue in Calc and Writer, but not in Impress.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two Calc documents in two LO windows.
2. Insert a chart inside the first document. -> chart editing mode is on by insertion.
3. Switch to the second window and then switch back.


Actual Results:
The sidebar become useless. It shows the text related options, but all are disabled.

Expected Results:
The sidebar should show the chart related options after switching back to the first document.


Reproducible: Always
