Description: I can dock the Styles sidebar as expected. I can exchange it for the Navigator bar. (By this procedure, I can even, uselessly, have a Navigator sidebar and a floating Navigator simultaneously.) I can drag it from the right side to the left side of the editor window. What I _cannot_ do is have the Navigator bar on the left side and the Styles bar on the right side of the editor window. The current help text (https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/swriter/guide/resize_navigator.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=UNIX) lies about this: "To dock or undock the Navigator or the Styles window, hold down the Ctrl key and double-click on a gray area in the window. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+F10." These actions do not work. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a document in Writer. 2. F5. 3. CTRL-doubleclick or CTRL-SHIFT-F10 on a gray area in the Navigator bar. Actual Results: CTRL-doubleclick: Nothing. CTRL-SHIFT-F10: Context menu for headings pops up. Expected Results: The Navigator bar should dock at that side of the editor window where it has been floating. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Alternatively, the following would be a useful procedure: Drag the sidebar to the desired position, and it snaps in (as it is the case with other toolbars). This is a regression. Docking the Navigator bar on the left side of the window while keeping the Style bar open on the right side used to be possible in earlier LO versions.
I can't confirm it with Version: 7.0.1.2 (x64) Build ID: 7cbcfc562f6eb6708b5ff7d7397325de9e764452 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded Additional information: If cursor is somewhere within the document Ctrl+Shift+F10 doesn't work (nothing happens). You have to click somewhere in the navigator bar before. Ctrl + double Click only works, if pointer is somewhere within navigator bar. Chjristian, are you able to confirm this? So I can't assess, if this is a bug or a lack of information in the help text.
I did click where I was supposed to click, as explained in my description. I confess I was surprised myself to be confronted with this bug, because I had worked with version 7.0.1 before, and it worked well. That was on Ubuntu, Gnome desktop. The current installation is: Version: 7.0.1.2 Build ID: 00(Build:2) CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded on OpenSuse Leap 15.2, but still using Gnome desktop.
(In reply to Christian Lehmann from comment #2) > I did click where I was supposed to click, as explained in my description. Sure, but that doesn't answer my question, because it depends on where the cursor / the pointer is locatet while you click. And I couldn't find any information about it in you bug report.
Let's see whether I understand what you mean: If I click in the Navigator sidebar on any point that has neither text nor symbols (in particular, a gray area), nothing happens. If I click, e.g., on a section heading, it gets a blue background. If I click on the head bar, its gray becomes more intensive. The pointer then stays where I left it in the sidebar until I move it into a gray area to execute the prescribed clicks.
Let me add another observation on a weird behavior of the cursor if more than one window for LO Writer is open: I have a document in the main window with a floating Navigator sidebar and have a second window on the same document. In the main window, I click 'Window' - 'Document name:2'. The text cursor shows up in the editor pane of the secondary window. I now click in the editor pane of the main window. The Navigator - apparently shared between the two windows on the same document - is rewritten, and blue highlighting shifts to the relevant section heading. However, the text cursor is not in the editing pane where I clicked; it is nowhere. I have to click once more in the editor pane in order to make it available there. I have already been reproached in these circles for adding what appeared to them as a different bug. However, I mention it here because it seems to be related to Bug 137153.
(In reply to Christian Lehmann from comment #4) > Let's see whether I understand what you mean: Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Let me try again. 1. Open a new document 2. Strg+F5 open sidebar on the right; choose styles tab 3. F5 opens floating navigator => Focus is on navigator 4. Ctrl+Shift+F10 => navigator is docked on left side O. K. 5. Ctrl+Shift+F10 => floating navigator 6. click in first paragraph => focus is in paragraph 7. Ctrl+Shift+F10 => nothing happens Perhaps a bug or a lack of information in documentation 8. Ctrl+Double click on a grey area within the floating navigator => O. K.
At first try, the result of following your instructions was negative as before. I restarted the system and tried again; and like a miracle, your predictions now came true. It still looks like a bug, although one hard to pin down. I hope to report on irregular cursor behavior (also observed by other users, by the way) on the next occasion.
