Left sidebar rendering is buggy when animations disabled

[palmerusaf]

Your Environment

• Version used: 12.0.1 AUR
• Operating System and version: Arch
• Desktop Environment: HyprLand 0.47.2
• Browser Name and version: Firefox 136.0.2

Expected Behavior

When the side bar is toggled it correctly resizes the main view and appears with the correct z axis.

Current Behavior

When animations are disabled hiding the side bar doesn't expand the main view. Additionally, un-hiding the side bar fails to shrink the main view and the sidebar appears behind the main view. The rendering can be corrected by resizing the window. I've experience this with the flatpak install on Pop OS as well. This leads me to believe it may be related to how tiling managers instantly resize windows. Maybe when on a tiling desktop environment with animations disabled the UI is skipping a critical break-point event that leaves the sidebar in a inconsistent state. The bug appeared sometime towards the end of V11. If I get some free time I will try get you an exact commit hash with git bisect.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Disable animations
2. Instantly resize the window somehow, such as with a tiling manager
3. Toggle the sidebar

Can you reproduce this reliably?

Reproducible on flatpak, deb, and the browser.

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!

Below are the results from git bisect:

Regression Commit

• commit hash 71183da

Pre-Regression Commit

• commit hash 6b20dac

It looks like the regression was caused during an upgrade to one of the angular packages. Maybe @angular/material?

Did you also run into the problem in #4048, by any chance?
If so, did this regression also solve that?

I ask because, though the title says Android, I've experienced that one on both Android and Windows 10 (when the window is narrow).

@UnconsciousBlaringHuman Actually I do have this problem on android. I was able to fix it on desktop by reverting the bad commit. I'll try to build the android version and see if it fixes that bug as well. I don't have any experience building android. Here's the link to my commit if someone wants to beat me to it.

@UnconsciousBlaringHuman good news, I was finally able to figure out how to build Android. Reverting the problem commit also fixed Android issue #4048. I'll prepare a full write-up on my findings and submit a PR.
