I like to have the Styles panel open full height on the right of the screen and use the little 
arrow to collapse when not wanted. I activate the navigator by using the F5 key and I like it 
docked full height next to the Styles sidebar. If I click to retract the Styles sidebar, the 
Navigator may or may not stay full height on the right. It sometimes retracts with the Styles 
sidebar and then when pulled out again, it has placed itself inside the Styles sidebar, limiting my 
view of the styles.

Just occasionally the Navigator 'decides' to sit full width across the bottom of the screen.

Not a mega problem, though.
