Marcel,

There still something wrong with sidebar width, especially on right side.
Look code from this method : SideBar::updateMinimumWidth()

This code must set the minimun width of sidebar container accordingly with
minimum width of current widgets hosted in sidebar tabs. This is used in
editor, when RawImport is load in sidebar. Settings from this tools take
more space than the rest of tabs. So, the sidebar tab is adjusted
accordingly...

But when RawImport tool is removed from sidebar, the minimal width must be
actualized. SideBar::updateMinimumWidth() is called another time and
sometime it's work, sometime no...

Any idea ?

Gilles
