TESTING with Lo 4.4.0.2 + Ubuntu 14.04

> Description:
> After undocking the sidebar, the sidebar window is unusably small.  It is
> exactly the same width of of a normal non-expanded docked sidebar, so it
> only shows the icons for different categories.  Clicking on these categories
> gives no response, since the undocked window does not auto-expand to show
> the area to the left of the category buttons.
>
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Start with a fresh LO config (remove your .config/libreoffice/4 directory)
> 2. Create a new Writer document
> 3. Undock the sidebar (Click sidebar menu button, select undock)
>
> Expected:
> We would expect that the undocked sidebar would be large enough to be
> usable, showing both category buttons and one of the categories.  Failing
> that, we would expect that clicking one of the category buttons would expand
> the window to include the appropriate dialog.
>
> Actual:
> As explained above, the sidebar just shows the strip of category buttons. 
> Clicking these buttons does not expand the dialog and the sidebar shows no
> change.

CONFIRMED: Skinny sidebar looks kind of svelte and cool, but is basically
useless.
