However, when I start Opera or just open new window, Messenger always pops up when I use this docked mode, even if I closed it manually in previous session / underlying window. Sometimes it leads to funny situations when I open the browser only to show someone some information and then huge Messenger bar appears and everyone who sits next to me can read my conversations. <img src="https://forums.opera.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f609.png?v=f58hvca1lju" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--winking_face" title=";)" alt="😉" /></p>
<p dir="auto">It would be great to have an option "show docked sidebar at startup by default" to control it, or just remember previous state (opened/closed) of the sidebar.</p>
