            Bug ID: 137034
           Summary: SIDEBAR: regression, sidebar grows too large when the
                    gallery is opened in impress/draw
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: sergio.callegari at gmail.com

Description:
In impress and draw, selecting the gallery in the sidebar makes the sidebar too
large. In fact, so large that it is impossible to work.

First seen in 7.0.2.1. Think that 7.0.1.2 was OK, but cannot be sure, used for
too little. 6.4.x is OK.

The issue is present in the kde5 and gen VCLs, but not in the GTK3 one.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Optional. Start with a new profile to be sure that the issue is not related
to a stale profile
2. Open libreoffice --draw
3. Go to the sidebar and select the gallery

Actual Results:
The sidebar expands in width to accommodate the gallery until it covers half of
the computer screen. The actual drawing or slide you were working on remains
compressed in a tiny space, insufficient for editing.

To make the matter worse, trying to reduce the sidebar width when the gallery
made it so huge typically is merely impossible, but in some cases leads to
weird issues such as LibO taking up 100% CPU or crashing or the sidebar
disappearing completely. When the latter thing happens, trying to re-expand it
or to toggle its appearance does not work. At this point, restarting LibO gives
you no sidebar at all until the profile is reset.

Expected Results:
The gallery should not make the sidebar take an unreasonable amount of space. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
