Change Sidebar position

It would great if sidebar is moved up, because with current layout some opened pdfs titles appear above sidebar which make it not looking good, and tabs can be resized to look uniform. See attached image for more info.

Seems reasonable to me visually, and this would make Okular consistent with Okular and Kate. However this would leave less horizontal space for tabs. Perhaps that's an acceptable trade-off.

That doesn't make sense to me, the sidebar belongs to each document, it's not a shared thing, if you make it be outside the tabs someone will complain that changing tab changes the sidebar.

The visible sidebar can be considered linked (not a part) of selected tab without being put under tabs.

Changing sidebar content upon selecting tab is the normal behavior in all pdf viewers in the market.
