Description Roman Kuznetsov 2023-02-07 06:11:16 UTC
Description:
Elements Sidebar area should be open itself when I insert Math formula into Writer document

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new Writer document (close Sidebar if it was open)
2. Insert-OLE object-Formula Object
3. It opens formula edit area at the bottom part of the LO window
4. But Elements area in Sidebar is still closed => it's bad. I think this area should be opens itself when you start to work with math formula

Actual Results:
Elements Sidebar area is still closed when I insert Math formula into Writer document

Expected Results:
Elements Sidebar area should be open itself when I insert Math formula into Writer document


Reproducible: Always

Mike, any opinion here?
Comment 2 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-02-09 13:39:08 UTC
Not exactly reproduced on Linux and Windows, with fresh profile. The Components deck usually pops up in the *Math* sidebar when inserting a formula, even if the *Writer* sidebar was closed, unless:
- The focus was last on the Properties deck (it stays focused on the Properties deck)
- The deck was closed previously (no deck is shown)
- The sidebar was hidden previously (it stays hidden)
- The sidebar was closed previously (it stays closed)

The Writer and Math sidebars are independent and their state is kept across sessions, which is consistent. However, because the Components deck of the Math sidebar is so important, I agree it could always pop up, even in the conditions listed above. But others might argue we need to keep the current consistent behaviour, e.g. if some users only want to edit formulas using the syntax editor and always keep the sidebar closed. So maybe "won't fix" / "Not a bug"?

Roman, do you see the behaviour I describe?
