Description: Hello all, Since LibreOffice 5, the style and formatting dialog has been dropped and replaced by the one shipped on the sidebar. Since that, the "more styles" item (after I press ctrl-f11) but this opening does not catch the caret which stays inside the document windows instead of the new-opened "style and formatting". This current implementation makes keyboard users confused because they expect to see their cursor moved to the full "styles and formatting" list on a floating window Whereas just now, they have to guess that the sidebar has been opened and try reaching to it via keyboard, that is a not possible action. Opening the style and formatting sidebar pane seems also not the behavior expected by sidebar users. Sidebar users will use the style pane available on the "properties" tab because it already offers the styles list. Users who do not want to use the sidebar at all don't expect to see sidebar opened on a non sidebar element. I assume the implementation I propose should satisfy the majority because sidebar users could continue to use the sidebar and people who don't want to use it will be able to avoid it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open LibreOffice Writer 2. Press ctrl+F11 or click on the drop-down styles list from the formatting bar 3. Choose more styles Actual Results: The keyboard focus comes back to the document contents Expected Results: The keyboard focus should move to a new floating windows "styles and formatting" as it is the case on LibreOffice 4.2 or with navigator (pressing F5). Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Best regards. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Indeed, when typing control-f11 and then choosing "more styles" in the list, the style sidebar opens, but the keyboard focus doesn't go there. Either a new floating window should appear with the caret in it, or the style sidebar should appear (current behavior) and the caret put in it (missing behavior).
