--- Comment #1 from Andre <aw...@googlemail.com> ---
For OLE objects we have to distinguish between two different 'types' of
selection.

1. OLE object is active.
This is the case right after an OLE object is inserted into a document.
When an OLE object is active then the whole UI is switched to the OLE
application.  Example: Insert a spreadsheet OLE into a presentation.  While the
spreadsheet OLE is active you have a 'Data' menu and an 'Alignment' panel in
the sidebar.  Deactivate the OLE and the 'Data' menu is replaced by the 'Slide
Show' menu.  In the sidebar the 'Alignment' panel is no longer available.

2. OLE object is selected.
You select an OLE object by a single click on it or, when it was previously
active, by hitting the ESC key.  The UI is still set to the host document,
Impress in the comment above.  The sidebar shows the panels 'Area', 'Line'
(both collapsed by default) and 'Position and Size'.

I guess that the bug description refers to an active OLE in which case it would
be perfectly OK to not see the 'Position and Size' panel.  Hit ESC to
deactivate the OLE.  The 'Position and Size' panel should become visible.
