It is also a Linux bug. I reported on this a few weeks ago concerning LO 7,
documenting with a video; but my bug report has somehow disappeared.

Current (version 7.0.2.2) behavior is as follows: Opening the Styles sidebar
(CTRL-F5) puts it to the width of 8 icons arranged horizontally on its top bar.
The user can even (and unnecessarily) _expand_ this further; but he is not
allowed to shrink it. This was allowed in earlier LO Writer versions. To allow
for it does not mean satisfying discretionary whims of users. It simply makes
no sense to make this sidebar wider than the longest style name listed in it.
