With the "Show and hide sidebar" setting, the selected sidebar panel needs to be reselected when you re-show/open the sidebar. My understanding is that this mode is supposed to more or less emulate the current sidebar button behavior.

STR:

  • Set sidebar.revamp to true
  • Open the history panel in the sidebar but clicking its icon in the narrow sidebar launcher
  • Close the sidebar by clicking the sidebar button
  • Re-open the sidebar by clicking the sidebar button

ER:

  • The history panel would be opened

AR:

  • No panel is open, I need to click again on the history icon to open it.
Severity: -- → S3
Priority: -- → P2

Thank you for filing the ticket! From my memory, this is not a bug, but something we accepted as imperfect behavior for 132 - it's been tracked as the last item in this table, but it's good to have a ticket on file.
