What happened?

When sidebar is set to collapsed mode with expanding on hover there are problems with button sizes.

With workspaces, while expanded workspace button has smaller hight, which causes all tabs to be shifted upwards. With many tabs it is so distracting and hard to click on the one you want. Profile button is shifted a little as well.

When I disable workspaces, then tabs while expading are shifted downwards. While collapsed profile button with separator are too high and go downwards too.

I tried reseting to default buttons placement, but it was worse with more buttons next to profile button. To add to that this shifting behaviour is from many versions ago, many from the start. Once it was almost fixed, but with new changes to placement of buttons it's got worse. It is almost like both versions of sidebar are different elements between which we are switching.

• https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/2587 This issue discusses the sidebar disappearing when right-clicking or hovering slightly outside the window. A suggested solution is to modify the hover detection logic to be less sensitive or introduce a delay before hiding the sidebar, which may help reduce accidental sidebar hiding.

• https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/2346 This issue addresses the workspace name shrinking when the mouse is not over the sidebar. A workaround is to adjust settings to expand tabs by default or display workspaces as an icon strip. Updating to versions 1.0.1-a.15 or later should also resolve the issue.

• https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/2211 The issue of not seeing workspace names can be resolved by disabling the "Hide unused workspaces" feature in the settings.
