            Bug ID: 139330
           Summary: UI is unfriendly, opening a new layer instead of the
                    last one when the layer tab list is full
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.3.1 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: chris.cowsley at gmail.com

Description:
I work with a lot of layers, sometimes too many for the window of layer tabs.
When the tab window is full, if I click on the rightmost tab it slides left and
shows me a default new layer.  That's OK, but if I doubleclick on the rightmost
tab, instead of opening the dialogue to let me alter its visibility or
protected status, it creates and opens the default new layer.

The result is opening a dialogue for an existing layer becomes a
click-pause-shiftleft-doubleclick process for the last layer in the list.

It would seem  more intuitive for the creation and renaming of a new layer to
be the less convenient process of the two.

Not urgent, obviously.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use as many layers as will fill the tab space available
2.Right click on the right-most layer tab & protect it
3.Notice that you have just protected a brand new layer, not the one you meant
to.

Actual Results:
3 above

Expected Results:
Expected the layer selected to be protected


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
