So if you open writer with a new profile, the sidebar is collapsed and only shows the tab bar and when you access the sidebar with F6, it gives focus to the title bar but wont mention that the sidebar deck is closed. So if a user arrives at the sidebar with the deck closed, it should mention that it is closed and should let the user open the deck by press spacebar or enter similar to a regular button.
Confirmed with Orca. It said something like "Sidebar close button". Then I could press Enter and it opened a dropdown menu, where I could select the different panels etc. Arch Linux 64-bit, KDE Plasma 5 Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: dc41255dc725dfa912326cc5d9e420bd66471c64 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Linux 4.7; UI Render: default; Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); Calc: group Built on October 1st 2016
Guess i forgot to mention the other option that the summary states, which is that it opens the sidebar deck when arriving with f6. @Stuart: What is your take on how f6 should work when it comes to the sidebar? Should it act similar to the main menu and/or toolbar, where f6 lands on the sidebar tab bar, so a11y users can easily use the arrow keys to move between entries as well as know which deck is open (Orca says 'Properties select radio button' when it is open) and press spacebar or enter to activate the deck.

Hello, I can reproduce the issue on LibreOfficeDev 6.1 from 2017-11-26. IMO, it's shouldn't be possible to navigate through the sidebar when it is closed. @yousuf @vstuart: what are your opinion about that ? Best regards.

Hello all, I can reproduce it on LibreOffice 6.1.0. Best regards, Alex.
Ideally arriving by F6 onto the collapsed Sidebar deck should open the deck to whatever the user had set as active in their profile. E.g. if they'd left it closed to Styles when collapsed it should expand the Styles deck. At a minimum, landing with F6 with a collapsed deck onto the Tab bar should expand the Properties deck. As is there is no indication of navigating to the Sidebar because it is not given focus when the deck is collapsed--arrival has no active Tab button. The F6 and F10 are fundamental (and legacy) keyboard navigation that continue support our Accisibility users. This needs to function in a consistent fashion.
