At some point the sidebar in the UI became collapsible, but (being icon dyslexic) I like to see the text labels. How does one stop the sidebar from collapsing?

It feels like I do that all day long.

Of late I've had a tab with an editor open to paste into. I'll see if closing it changes anything.

It seems like it collapses when it wants to? I haven't found a setting to stop this from happening?
I wrote a few lines of css to prevent it and this seems to work for me:
/* Prevent the menu from collapsing and force width */
.side-menu-container.bg-hubitat-deep-black {
width: 240px !important;
min-width: 240px !important;
max-width: 240px !important;
}
/* Prevent layout shift */
.h-screen.flex.flex-row.relative {
grid-template-columns: 240px auto !important;
display: grid !important;
}

I have to report that my changes keep failing as new versions come out. It would be really nice if the collapsing menu bar is an option that can be disabled. Not the end of the world but I am too stupid to remember what the icons are.
Mine (Safari browser) never collapses on its own.
Thats weird as I am using Safari and it collapses all of the time. For example editing a driver or an app always causes the menu to collapse.
Beats me. Maybe some kind of cache thing. Does it do the same on another browser? etc, etc, etc. 
I am running 2.4.2.125. Perhaps you are on an older version before they implemented this?
It does the same thing in Chrome.
If you are on the same or close version, do me favor and go into apps or drivers and click on one to edit it and see if the menu collapses.
I did that before I replied. Couldn't get it to misbehave.
I'm on the latest stuff. C8Pro. Late model MacBook Pro.
weird.
Just to be clear. The menu bar doesn't collapse on your machine when you do this?

As a sanity check, mine does exactly as yours - great explanation! I think perhaps that glitch is just with things under the For Developer editor section.

Mine's always done the same. I always figured it was something intentional for the Developer section to maximize the view of the code or something along those lines.
Since I'm not in there very often, it's never bothered me.
Yes, mine does the same, probably for the reasons that @Tom16 noted.
