Thanks for sharing that.

Samuel Mehrbrodt has replied the same as me. The new behavior is not correct
not just in my opinion but for consistency. The style element is on the View
menu, if F11 should open the style pane, it should also close it. I understand
the utility of ctrl+F5 but for our beginner user he will prefer to keep the
same behavior as before and he will find not logical to use one key for opening
the style pane and another one for closing it.

If the user has to know such complexity I really think we're doing things not
for Benjamin but for Eve.

@Heiko: You're reasoning is correct for people reading man or searching a bit
to understand things but if me and Samuel think in first time it's a bug how a
new user will think ?

Also the title of the bug explains "back in document", it's what I expect to
have, sincerely, for the end-user.

Best regards,
Alex.
