Description Zetok 2017-11-16 16:49:22 UTC
"Navigator" sidebar in Writer used to have visible vertical scrollbar in LO 5.2.7.2 and before, but it was missing when I opened LO after updating it to 5.4.2.2.

Initially I thought that scrollbar was removed from the Navigator, but after resizing sidebar to bigger size scrollbar re-appeared.

After increasing size of sidebar I am no longer able to reproduce the problem, since minimal width size of the sidebar is wider than the size that causes the sidebar to disappear – perhaps problem only affects users who updated LO from older version and still have the sidebar with a lower width than the new minimal width.

Perhaps sidebar should have a check for whether its current width is bigger than new minimal width, and increase its width automatically if it's not?
Comment 1 Buovjaga 2017-11-17 18:02:11 UTC
This can be reproduced by going to, say, styles deck and making the width smaller and then switching back to navigator.
If you want to test with 5.2 again, you can install it in parallel: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux

Not sure, if we should keep your report open as bug 90374 is about making the whole sidebar have a fixed width.

Thia annoying bug is also affecting me. The scroll bar will show If you drag the sidebar to a wider size.
Comment 3 Buovjaga 2017-11-29 10:40:43 UTC
This is not exclusive to Linux, happens on Win as well.
Note that you need to first reduce the height of the LibO window and add some headings so the Navigator has enough stuff.

But still: why keep this open when bug 90374 is accepted to be implemented?

Try resizing in Style deck view. Navigator deck prevents it.

This issue may have already been fixed by one commit which I can not recall. Would you please re-test with the most recent version (6.2 or 6.3)?
Comment 10 Buovjaga 2020-01-05 18:30:44 UTC
Yep, it's gone
