Sidebar auto hides while moving tabs #742

Closed

Description

Describe the bug

When using the feature userChrome.autohide.sidebar true in combination with vertical tabs, the sidebar hides while you are working with the tabs. This makes some actions close to impossible, e.g. if you want to move a tab into a different group with Sidebery.

Expected behavior

Ideally, the sidebar would stay extended when dragging a tab, the same way it does while hovering the sidebar. If you leave the sidebar area, hiding it is probably still more intuitive, but not while moving inside of it.
