Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue, it’s a regression of a bug we fixed before.

Try this workaround:

  1. Open settings.json (CMD + Shift + P > “Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)”)
  2. Add this line:
"workbench.sideBar.location": "right"

Alternative: CMD + Shift + P > “View: Toggle Primary Side Bar Position” but it may reset again after an update.

I’ve let the team know the bug is back on version 2.4.21. Similar threads from other users:

Let me know if the workaround doesn’t help.
