Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known regression. The bug was fixed before, but it came back in version 2.3.41+.

Try this workaround:

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

It doesn’t work for everyone, but it helps many users. Another option is CMD + Shift + P > “View: Toggle Primary Side Bar Position”, but it might reset after an update.

The team is aware. Here’s the main thread with lots of reports: Primary Side Bar forgets its position

Let me know if the workaround doesn’t help.
