Unable to collapse the left side panel in teams anymore

As of yesterday, the display of my teams will no longer collapse the left side panel. I've tried settings, restarting the app, and restarting the computer. It used to open after selecting one of the options next to it, like chat or teams and then it would automatically close after I selected what I wanted from those options. How do I get it to collapse again?

    Same. I do not have the diagonal arrows or other settings/menu items mentioned. The Chat list on the left takes up half of my screen when I have the font size readable on my tiny work laptop. So annoying!

    None of these works. Everything was working until Version 25094.310.3616.953. Now, to keep my sidebar open and the panels closed, I have to clear cache every day. It's ridiculous.

    It happens in Version 25094.310.3616.953 too. Nothing fixes it other than clearing cache every day.
