Bug: Unexpected drawer behavior

[ryandotfurrer]

Describe the bug

I'd expect the drawer that you open to access home, repo insights, contributor insights, etc. to close upon clicking a link, however, it stays open.

If this is the intentional behavior, please close this out.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to your workspace.
2. Click the button to open the drawer.
3. Click a link in there.

Hey @ryandotfurrer! Thanks for reporting the issue. The side panel closes when you click outside of it, but elements within it currently do not cause it to close aside from the Support menu because the element is outside of the panel.

We could close it when items get clicked within the side panel, but we'd need to add logic to ensure the drop down to select a workspace when clicked doesn't close the side panel. Same for the Support panel.

I'm not sure if adding that additional logic is worth it considering the panel closes as soon as you click outside of it, but if you have some suggestions, feel free to comment with them.

@nickytonline I absolutely see where you're coming from. Maybe other users don't expect a drawer to close upon clicking a link inside of it, thus why I didn't see another issue open for this. I agree it's a lot to add without real ROI; just food for thought!
