But what of folks who open and close a document repeatedly as they work on something else.

Sidebar already collapses if that was that state it was closed in. Whole purpose of bug 67770 was to make the SB Deck stateful per user profile, so as to not end up on the Properties deck. Simple for a user to toggle to a different deck of their preference before closing the module--we provide kb accelerators and GUI to do so. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
