I'll give it a look then. But ... wasn't that in the original StarOffice,
or am
i confuddled again?
Something vaguely similar was in StarOffice. The current implementation
however comes from Symphony. In any case anyone is curious, Sun licensed
Openoffice.org code to IBM a long time back (they could do this because Sun
mandated a copyright assignment for all external contributions) and IBM
developed Symphony as a proprietary fork. Now that Oracle has donated the
codebase to Apache on the request of IBM, IBM has stopped Symphony and is
contributing to Apache Openoffice instead. Libreoffice which is a fork
of the original
Openoffice.org ( before the Oracle donation to Apache) is
developing its own changes but continuing to cherry pick some features from
Apache
Openoffice.org and the sidebar happens to be one of those features.
