(In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #9)
Who says you need a video to explain this ?
Seriously? 95% of our user base dont even know what the navigator is in the
first place.
IMO your thinking is way to complicated :)
No, its not. Having a list box at the bottom of a sidebar tab that makes that
sidebar tab suddenly display content from a different document than the one
that is docked is a UX horror story. Its completely unintuitive unless you
watched a video or read a book about it (which 5% of our user base do, if you
are _very_ _very_ optimistic). A user changing the listbox by accident or
without knowing what it does will leave the user behind confused as the sidebar
will not show navigation for the document in the window. A novice will not
understand that. Nor should he/she: its entirely counterintuitive and broken.
P.S.: I found another wart in the navigator UX horror, which breaks any hope to
make the navigator a "global" navigator for all open documents: The listbox
shows only documents of the same type, which is yet another unintuitive
inconsistent behaviour: _If_ the navigator is independent of the current
document, it should be really independent (and thus not limit to the current
documents type).
