The sidebar is completely closed (using the View menu). When pressing the "Styles and formatting" button on the toolbar in this state, a somehow incomplete sidebar appears: there are none of the 4 buttons (e.g. Gallery, Navigator…). Also, it is similar when opening e.g. "Gallery" from the View menu. When opening "Navigator" from the View menu, it shows as a separate window. I think it would be logical for all of the commands to show a complete sidebar, with the respective section active.
Hi thomas, thanks for reporting. I confirm that when opening Styles and Formatting and Gallery, " a somehow incomplete sidebar appears: there are none of the 4 buttons " set to new. Wrt the Navigator"the choice is made to have this one also open separate, to allow use of Navigator and other panels (e.g. Styles and Formatting) at the same time. Cor

I believe this has been fixed, so I'll mark it as resolved/fixed, though I'm not sure exactly which commit did the trick. But I tested this in 4.4.0.2 rc2 and I'm no longer able to reproduce this bug. After fully closing the sidebar, it doesn't matter how I try to summon the sidebar, it now always has each of the category buttons.
