<![CDATA[Sidebar getting longer?]]>Every time I hover over the sidebar, everything on there except for my workspaces move down until I can't get them back and I have to restart the app. This also includes the things at the bottom. What is going on here? I would attach a screen recording but I cannot. This happened right after I updated it so it most likely has something to do with aht

Looks like a fix is coming to Opera Stable soon too.

There's a sidebar auto-hide bug mentioned as fixed in the changelog.

Top to bottom: Workspaces,

How many workspaces? Just the default 2?

What display resolution?

Also, what operating system and operating system version?

I'm still not able to reproduce the issue myself.

Can you elaborate on the standalone installation part?

Sorry. Messed up the link. See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile/#wiki_standalone_installation.

Top to bottom: Workspaces, Gemini, Calendar, Gmail, Translate, Flow, Bookmarks, Pinboards, Tabs, History

interestingly enough, it only happens in a maximised window

What exact panels (from top to bottom) do you have enabled in the sidebar?

Does it happen whether Opera's window is maximized or not?

It is a weird bug. It only goes away if I show it all the time, but honestly I think it looks ugly. It's what I've been doing for now but I would rather have it with the sidebar hiding automatically

Everything fits completely fine on there with quite large gaps and the sidebar isn't scrollable either.

The scroll position should stay where it's at until you restart Opera where it should then reset to the top.

For me at least, things are not shifting when I hover over the sidebar.

You can click the 3 dots at the bottom of the sidebar and remove things you don't want to show. If you remove enough, the sidebar won't be scrollable anymore as everything will show on it at once.
