Cannot hide sidebars after april 2025 facelift

[Pehr Wänggård Persson]

I assume that there has been a facelift to Jira between the 9th and 10th of april (at least for me). With this, I can no longer hide either of the sidebars that are shown with an issue open in the browser. I am using Edge 134.

I can never get the left sidebar "hide-arrow" to show, but the one for the right sidebar will be visible once per page refresh if I press the "..."-button there. It will only be visible for part of a second and it is not clickable, even if I try to catch it before it fades away.

April 15, 2025 and the [ shortcut is still broken in Jira.

Works for the left sidebar for me. Right sidebar arrow still does not work.

The [ shortcut is working for me again in Confluence, so presumably in the other Jira view I use on my corporate machine. Will try on Tuesday.

I can manually Collapse and Expand the Jira and Confluence sidebar, but the [ shortcut has stopped working.

"[" does nothing for me either.
Thanks for teaching me about the existance of shortcuts!
EDIT: How do you manually expand/collapse? I can change the size of the sidebars with the vertical bar/border. Can you hide them?

@Pehr Wänggård Persson The UI's keep changing, so what I use at work vs. personal projects looks different, but what I see in Confluence right now (and was seeing in Jira until my layout switched to vertical tabs) was this icon:

@Robert Johnson I see, thanks!

I assumed the left sidebar would have the same icon as the right one. Clicking that button (and now also "[" for some reason) works for the left sidebar.

I still cannot collapse the right sidebar however (same as in my orig post):

Welcome @Pehr Wänggård Persson 

Are you facing this issue just on your Edge browser? Have you tried using other browsers?

[Pehr Wänggård Persson]

Hello and thanks for your reply!

Firefox 137 behaves the same.

Opera 117 ditto.

Can't find any more non-Chromium (did not realise Opera is now Chromium-based before I installed it) or non-Firefox-fork GUI browsers to test.
