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

English
#1

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)…

oh ok! I didnt know the locations were related. Thanks for the info.
I waited till the next day but there was no reply on reddit.

Thanks. F5 does create a separate floating window with Navigation. But I dont seem to be able to get this to dock. It just sits over the document.

When I move that Nav Window over to the left side it does not show the ghost outline to dock as the SideBar normally does. What is supposed to happen?

It works on Windows (tested with LibreOffice 25.2.7.2 and 25.8.4.2)

OK thanks. Perhaps the Linux version is missing this feature then.

Perhaps.
In tdf#163734 (“can’t dock a Navigator window to its place on left side of main LO window by d&d”) one reads about issue occuring on Linux.

Works on my (Linux) side. See 163734 – can't dock a Navigator window to its place on left side of main LO window by d&d
