Thank you very much for this bug report. Not reproducible with LO 5.3.7 vanilla (from LibreOffice website). Reproducible with LO 6.0.1 from Ubuntu PPA. Same behavior if I use the GTK2 or the GTK3 VCL plugin. Set status to NEW. Best regards. JBF

Confirming the issue here as well. Another point perhaps worth mentioning is the following scenario: - uncheck View->Sidebar - press F11 (or equivalently View->Styles), the sidebar shows up with the style sidebar open - uncheck View->Sidebar (again) - press F11 (or equivalently View->Styles), the sidebar shows up, but the style sidebar doesn't open This does not look coherent. To be really useful for accessibility, F11 should just always get the caret into the style panel, be it in the sidebar or a floating window. If the style panel is already visible, then the caret should just be moved there, instead of closing it. Blind users wouldn't know when it is open or not, so ATM they would have to press F11 once or twice to get to the style panel. If sighted users really want a shortcut to open/close the sidebar, this can be a separate shortcut. Tangling it with the appearance of the style panel seems like mostly bringing issues, as this very bug shows.
I confirm the problem on Windows 64bits The un-docked Styles formatting window becomes impossible to display. F11 or View-Styles makes it appear briefly then it disappears. Closing then re-opening does not solve. Same problem with Writer and Calc (did not try other modules) (every LibreOffice version is worse than the previous. None of the problems that appeared were fixed, only new problems are added) Other Styles window problem (appeared long ago) : The Styles window does not stay in the Styles List mode (which is the only mode I use). I have to switch every time I open a document. I try newer LO versions hoping they will solve some of the regressions that pile up, but this just does not happen :-( I try to help by reporting, but is it useful ?
Hmm, behavior when docked vs. undocked differs. When docked positioned with a deck already active, a second click on the Tab bar buttons (or F11 for Styles) collapses the deck--leaving just the Sidebar's tab bar. A second click (buttons or shortcut) will expand the deck. Sidebar will not close unless the button action from View -> Sidebar menu, or the Sidebar's Settings droplist "Close sidebar" button action is applied. But currently when undocked, a second click (by button or shortcut)--rather than collapsing the deck to show just the Tab bar floating--closes the Sidebar and cursor focus drops to the LibreOffice application frame. That is the issue here, not the assignment of the shortcut or button actions. The sidebar in undocked detached state should not close when a deck is being selected twice. Seems the action for collapsing the Deck to show just the Tab bar when docked--is being mishandled when undocked. Meanwhile it is simple to recover--F10 (to regain focus to LibreOffice menu) -> View -> Sidebar will reopen the detached Sidebar at the last active deck.
Bubli committed this https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f7de9714b00dd618544cf561d5ee45354623b947 but the notification didn't work....
Unassigning this and intentionally leaving the bug open. I have hard time understanding the rest of the bugfix creep tbh.
V6.0.3.2 Win 10 x64: I cannot reopen the 'Styles' window at all once it was closed. Pressing F11 or calling 'Manage Styles' from the 'Styles main menu item, I get a short flash of it, but the window immediately closes again.
(In reply to Wolfgang Jäger from comment #8) > V6.0.3.2 Win 10 x64: > ... Sorry. The "x64" applies to the LibO version.
Is it OK to raise the importance of this bug? Best regards, Alex.

I do not repro the original bug report using: Version 6.1.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Build ID: 7237db44dfac914e5b6003f418267d3df1e7f162 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42; Branchmaster; Time: 2018-05-05_12:19:17 Locale: en-US (en-US); Calc: group Or Version 6.1.0.0.alpha1+ Linux 4.13
(In reply to Jim Raykowski from comment #13) > I do not repro the original bug report using: > Nor do I, Bubli's patch took care of that and this should probably be closed. Remaining work of sorting out "coherence" (comment 3) of the F11 focus & open/close behaviors (both docked and undocked) as with bug 101915 and ref. =-ref-= https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/52612/
Hello all, With the latest daily build I can confirm that the bug is correctly fixed, thanks :)! Best regards, Alex.
Bug still there in version 6.0.5.
Bug is still here in 6.0.6.2 (x64). Win 10 home. Method to reproduce: Open LibreOffice Open sidebar deck Undock sidebar close resulting floating window Press F11 Result: floating window (which is, apparently, the Styles dialog) appears for less than a second and then disappears. Selecting View -> Sidebar produces the same result. Method to restore: Select View -> Gallery Result: floating sidebar deck reappears with focus in Gallery Redock sidebar Press F11 Result: Styles portion of sidebar deck reappears as before Lesson: Don't try to over-customize this software ... you'll never get any work done.
(In reply to ThomP from comment #17) > Bug is still here in 6.0.6.2 (x64). Win 10 home. Correct, the target of bubli's fix was 6.1.0, and was not back ported to a 6.0 branch [1]. The secondary issue was opened as bug 101915 and then fixed for master/6.2.0 [2] with back port against 6.1.0.1 [3]. Verified Fixed was done in 6.1.0.1 =-ref-= https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/51866/ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/52612/ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/55305/
