Browser window shifting to the right

[steve333]

At times, when my cursor hits the left side of a browser window, the page shifts to the right a little. Doesn't happen every time.
Very annoying, is there any way to turn this off? Something must be causing it

It's a hint, meaning the user could drag to the right to open the sidebar.
I can't find a way to disable it.

That's too bad, annoying as heck

Yep, it's frustrating, especially when it causes text to reflow. I thought it was a bug at first, but it does indeed seem to be by design... and I too haven't been able to find how to disable it.

As far as I can tell, the only way to disable it is to have the sidebar always on 🙂

The WebKit based Orion Browser has a setting to disable “Auto-show sidebar in full screen”, but it doesn’t seem to be working in Safari 17.3.1, so I doubt there is a way to disable it in window mode.

defaults read com.kagi.kagimacOS AutoShowSidebarInFullScreen
defaults write com.apple.safari AutoShowSidebarInFullScreen -bool NO
defaults write com.apple.safari AutoShowSidebarInFullScreen -bool YES

defaults write com.apple.safari AutoShowSidebarInFullScreen -bool NO
defaults delete com.apple.safari AutoShowSidebarInFullScreen

I’ve also tried AutoShowSidebar

defaults write com.apple.safari AutoShowSidebar -bool NO
defaults delete com.apple.safari AutoShowSidebar
