Created attachment 177687 [details] Current and proposed layouts The "Manage Changes" dialog used in Writer and Calc has navigation buttons at the bottom, but they appear both in the List and Filter tabs. However, these buttons are only needed in the List tab. In the attached file I show the current layout and present a new layout for the dialog, with the following main characteristics: 1) The navigation buttons appear only in the List tab 2) A contextualized Help button is added to the dialog

Created attachment 177876 [details] Manage Changes sidebar with duplicated buttons After the patch, the buttons in the Manage Changes sidebar became unnecessary because they're now embedded in the dialog itself. They need to be removed from the sidebar or else they'll appear duplicated (as in the attached image). Note that this sidebar is only visible if "Enable experimental features" is checked in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Advanced. I submitted a new patch that fixes this issue: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/129103/2
Created attachment 177930 [details] Sidedbar height options The proposed change in gerrit that fixes the sidebar issue uses the line of code below in ctredlin.cxx, which fixes width and height to 400px: pTreeView->set_size_request(400, 400); The reason why I set a fixed height is due to situations where the document has many changes in the list (see the attached ODG file). The screenshot on the left shows that by fixing the height, a scrollbar appears in the dialog to handle changes that exceed the dialog height. However, using "-1" for the height causes the dialog within the sidebar to expand beyond the visible area (see the screenshot on the right side of the ODG), causing a scrollbar to appear in the sidebar (not in the dialog). Ideally, I would like to have the dialog occupy all the available height of the sidebar, without exceeding it, similar to what the Styles sidebar does. However I still could not figure out how.
