Description Jean-Francois Nifenecker 2015-09-25 19:08:34 UTC
Previewing a document (Writer or Calc) causes the sidebar to slightly collapse when it is docked along with the Navigator. After a few previews, the Sidebar is almost squeezed and the Navigator takes almost all the vertical estate.

To reproduce:
-- Dock the Navigator on the right side, above or under the Sidebar.
-- Call File>Preview a few times.

Et voila.

The bug is still present in the latest Fresh version (5.4.4).

I'm eagerly waiting for a fix to this "functionality", since I'm heavily using styles/long documents/preview facilites.

Still present in LibreOffice 6.0.7 and 6.1.3 (Linux).
This is a *very* annoying behaviour for people who swap frequently from standard view to print preview for big documents.
I beg for a fix!

Hello!
this bug is still present, and was present in all versions between the one cited and the current one I'm using:
Version: 7.2.1.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 87b77fad49947c1441b67c559c339af8f3517e22
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR
Calc: threaded

It is very annoying because designing a document requires numerous calls to the preview and back.
