Can I dock LO-Writer Navigator on the left & leave the main sidebar on the right?

The SideBar is docked on the right side of my app.
I would like to move only the Navigator to the left side.
So the resulting layout would be LEFT Navigator - MIDDLE Document - RIGHT SideBar

When I attempt this (by dragging the Navigator word at the top of the pane to the left side) it moves the entire SideBar to the left side.
If I undock the Navigator into a floating window, it undocks the entire SideBar.

From what I read online it should be possible to dock panels on both sides. But I dont seem to be able to. Its either left or right for the entire SideBar.

Thanks for any advice.

Perhaps you should try docking the Navigator window (F5 or View ⟶ Navigator)…
