If you open up the TOC dialog and you click on and off of the preview checkbox, the entire dialogs contents is being shifted, so if the preview was on the right, just the right side of the dialog would be moving back and forth. This would also make it consistent with previews features found insert image dialogs.
nice.
This sounds for me also good. But I recognized a further issue regarding this. If I deactivate and then activate the preview again then preview shows also the toolbars from the top and bottom.

Please report that as a separate bug (which, for the record, is reproducible by installing some extensions, such as AltSearch). (In reply to Jay Philips from comment #0) > If you open up the TOC dialog and you click on and off of the preview > checkbox, the entire dialogs contents is being shifted Previews and other content are usually on the left because we reserve the right side for settings which modify that content. This is the same reason why the Sidebar is on the right (cf. bug 83026), and this is also why the Print dialog’s preview is on the left. > This would also make it consistent with previews features found insert image > dialogs. Those dialogs are from the system, not from LibreOffice. We don’t have to try and follow those all the time. IMHO.
We're replacing our use of the 'ux-advise' component with a keyword: Component -> LibreOffice Add Keyword: needsUXEval [NinjaEdit]
I think it would require less change and it could also be a good solution if the Help button and the Preview checkbox would not be aligned to the left side of the window but it would aligned to the Type, Entries, ... tabs, according to the following illustration (see it iwith fixed fonts). Current behaviour: PreviewPreviewPreview Type|Entrie|Styles|Columns|Background PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. [HELP] [x] Preview Type|Entrie|Styles|Columns|Background ............................................. ............................................. ............................................. ............................................. ............................................. [HELP] [x] Preview My proposal: PreviewPreviewPreview Type|Entrie|Styles|Columns|Background PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. PreviewPreviewPreview ............................................. [HELP] [x] Preview Type|Entrie|Styles|Columns|Background ............................................. ............................................. ............................................. ............................................. ............................................. [HELP] [x] Preview I am not sure it is easy to implement, though.

If you look at most of LO's dialogs, the preview is always on the right. Paragraph dialog Bullets & Numbering dialog Page dialog Image / Frame / OLE dialog > Those dialogs are from the system, not from LibreOffice. We don’t have to > try and follow those all the time. IMHO. LO's build-in insert image dialog has the preview on the right.
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Since most of the new dialogs have the preview right-hand and since this layout is our new default we agreed on the proposal. Probably an easyhack.
