          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.

Here's a link to the part quoted:
