I'm user, and I very much agree with this comment.

Currently is a mess width adjustment in the sidebar of the different
applications of LibreOffice. Before getting used to, I lost much time adjusting
to the correct width for viewing the content offered by the different tabs. Now
I turn to use the maximum width which allows the sidebar and hide when
necessary, however, is a problem when you need to use tools in the sidebar
while viewing comments in Writer (in 4: 3 is more difficult).

For me, the ideal solution is to have a minimum and maximum width for all tabs
in the sidebar, in order to ensure see everything offered at a glance. I think
the width of the sidebar, should conform to criteria viewing on 16: 9 (maximum
width) and 4: 3 screens (minimum width).

Currently the properties tab has the expected behavior, delivers security, and
provides a better user experience.
