How to disable double-click sidebar closing

I don’t know from which version it started, but there is a function enabled by default that allows quick closing of the sidebar with a double click. The probability of accidental triggering is quite high, which is really annoying. Is there a way to turn it off

You can usually disable this feature in the settings. Look for an option related to sidebar behavior or mouse actions. If it’s not visible, try updating to the latest version or check the official site for guidance.

Could you clarify which sidebar you’re referring to?
Also, where exactly are you double-clicking when it closes?

Would be super helpful if you can share a video recording

I have learned that not all double-clicking on the sidebar will close it; instead, it’s the icons that need to be double-clicked

Any way to disable this? I keep closing sidebar if I click active tab icon again… very annoying

Was also reported over here! A bug was filed, and I’ve linked this thread.
