Images and Commentary

I recently discovered the new “experimental sidebar” in version 4.1.x and must say that I like it very much. But, since it is still experimental, I thought I would pass on the following comments to whoever is developing this feature in the hopes of making it even more useful (or at least more to my liking). I’m using LibreOffice Version: 4.1.3.2 on 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 by the way.

See the attached for images showing the existing sidebar and suggested "refinements" that I believe would make it more consistent and useful (at least to me).

Great Addition, by the way - gives me a lot more vertical screen space.

Hi,
Thank you for your detailed report!
The resize problem is already fixed in master a long time ago, and will be available in 4.2.0.

BTW next time it would be better if you report each issue as a separate bug. It's very hard to keep track of bugs with several issues.

Other Sidebar issues of OP resolved. Remaining issue is lack of a "Clear formatting" action button to clear styles setting selected block of text to "default" as available on the Toolbar from the Apply Style drop down.

Adjusting summary for clarity.
