This one is for Thorsten.
[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC4 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) English UI [OOO330m19 (build 6 / tag 3.3.0.4)]". After Step 7 I get an empty selection for Task Pane items, no idea how to get items back. Reassign due to Comment 1

Still the same problem with "Ooo-Dev 3.4.0 multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [OOo300m98 (Build 9568)]"!
created a patch that makes all items visible before closing the panel. Then all items are visible again at re-activating the taskpane. The problem is that there is only 1 array that remembers all items of the taskpane. That array is deleted at de-activating the tastpane. So nothing remembers all the items of the taskpane. So not a complete fix but improving the situation. patch: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/1231/
