--- Comment #3 from Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault at ens-lyon.org> ---
Confirming the issue here as well.

Another point perhaps worth mentioning is the following scenario:

- uncheck View->Sidebar
- press F11 (or equivalently View->Styles), the sidebar shows up with the style
sidebar open
- uncheck View->Sidebar (again)
- press F11 (or equivalently View->Styles), the sidebar shows up, but the style
sidebar doesn't open

This does not look coherent. To be really useful for accessibility, F11 should
just always get the caret into the style panel, be it in the sidebar or a
floating window. If the style panel is already visible, then the caret should
just be moved there, instead of closing it. Blind users wouldn't know when it
is open or not, so ATM they would have to press F11 once or twice to get to the
style panel. If sighted users really want a shortcut to open/close the sidebar,
this can be a separate shortcut. Tangling it with the appearance of the style
panel seems like mostly bringing issues, as this very bug shows.
