Unable to collapse the left side panel in teams anymore

Might as well add my complaint to the pile. I use a vertical screen for reading and monitoring chats and teams, so this "feature" is really annoying. As with others, an app reset/reinstall will fix the issue but updating the app breaks it again. Zooming in also eventually fixes it but then I lose so much real estate, so it solves one problem with another problem.

I sent feedback using the feedback button, but want to keep bumping this topic in the forum as well. Hopefully we see a fix soon. The work arounds are tiresome.

I had already not only uninstalled classic teams, but some 'Persona;' teams that somehow got installed as well, and the problem remains.

Things work a day, maybe two, but it reverts to locking the left navigation pane open and not autoclosing it.

This is, along with Copilot being shoved down my throat but being completely useless for what I do, a source of significant frustration as it adds a number of daily tasks to my work that are unnecessary as I have to fix everything before I can start working efficiently.

I did the same, but then the next day it had the same problem.

It works through the day, then I exit teams, and I restart it the following day, and it exhibits the issue again.

How has this not been fixed yet? I don't want half my screen filled by teams.

After putting up with it for a couple of weeks, I broke down and did "reset". At first, the side panel was once again collapsing, so it look good. Then, I clicked the "Update" button at the top and it's back to not collapsing unless I zoom in to oversize the text. It's a royal pain.
