Comment 31 for bug 792501

The problem is not LibreOffice-specific, as it also occurs with Opera when you drag text from the address bar, search bar or from a web site.
In LibreOffice Impress, dragging around the text boxes in the presentation works fine, but once you double-click on the font selection input field, the sidebar gets stuck again.

This is really irritating because you either need to close the application or un-maximize the window and manually move/resize it such that it is no longer covered by the side bar. As long as this problem is not resolved, it would already be helpful if we could either lock the sidebar (and thereby reduce the display space available for applications) or disable it entirely.
