What happened?

After updating to the latest version, the sidebar webpanel now floats and disappears when clicked away. It isn't like a split webpage anymore like it should be. The webpages are also extremely dark. I've tested this on a fresh profile with no zen mods as well and the behavior stayed.

Hey @kar731! I'm here to assist you with any bugs, questions, or contributions. Let's work together to solve the issue you're experiencing.

I found a similar open issue titled "Sidebar not expanding and taskbar is glitchy with overlapping elements" which might be related to the behavior you're experiencing. This issue is still open and was last updated on October 2, 2024 ^[1].

Additionally, there have been recent changes in version 1.0.1-a.13 that could affect the sidebar webpanel's behavior. These include animation enhancements, layout adjustments, and styling changes that might contribute to the floating behavior and contrast issues you're seeing ^[2].

For the contrast and appearance, the zen-sidebar-panels.css file defines styles that might be affecting the sidebar's look. It includes properties like background, border, and box-shadow which control the visual aspects ^[2].

If you need to adjust the sidebar's behavior, you might want to check the configuration settings in zen.sidebar.data and related preferences like zen.sidebar.enabled and zen.sidebar.close-on-blur ^[3][4].
