Hello,

Vertical tabs are not enabled.
Here is a short GIF demonstrating this issue:

Thanks for reporting! It looks like "sidebar.visibility" is set to "hide-sidebar" and you're using horizontal tabs. In this mode the button won't change appearance. It has a different state when the sidebar launcher is collapsed versus expanded, but if hidden will show the "collapsed" icon (an empty/square looking icon impacted discoverability and was ambiguous).
