https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83026 Priority: medium Bug ID: 83026 CC: libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: Sidebar should open on the left side in accordance with the GNOME HIG Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux (All) Reporter: simplecontrast@gmail.com Hardware: Other Status: UNCONFIRMED Version: unspecified Component: ux-advise Product: LibreOffice The new (in-development) GNOME HIG specifies: "Organize visual elements from top-to-bottom and left-to-right. This is the direction that people from western locales tend to read an interface, so that the items at the top-left will be encountered first. This ordering gives interfaces a hierarchy: those components that are viewed first are perceived to have priority over those that come after them. For this reason, you should place dominant controls above and to the left of the controls and content that they affect." Since the sidebar controls content in the viewing window, it should be placed on the right by default in Writer and Calc. In Draw and Impress it should be placed between the slide/page switcher and the viewing window in order to follow the HIG.
