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?

    this is what happened to me, I had it fixed then when I got here yesterday morning it went back to not collapsing. I've uninstalled and installed which fixed it and then when teams automatically switched to the new version it went back to doing the same thing.

    I can "fix" the issue by zooming to 110% but the text is now bigger

    This began happening to me very recently, as well. I see a lot of frustration on this, understandably. Hoping Microsoft's next update will fix this issue and allow the column to be collapsable - I think with it expanded, it makes things very busy/noisy and causes some overwhelm. Not to mention the excess real estate on the screen, as mentioned prior.
