What's Wrong?

When the left sidebar is hidden/collapsed, opening the context menu via the hamburger button (☰) and hovering over Cowork or Code causes the menu to close automatically before the user can click.

The issue does not occur when the left sidebar is pinned/visible — in that state, Cowork and Code are accessible normally.

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

Hovering over Cowork or Code in the context menu should keep the menu open and allow the user to click and navigate to that mode.

Actual Behavior

The menu closes automatically when hovering over Cowork or Code buttons, making them inaccessible unless the left sidebar is pinned.

Workaround

Keep the left sidebar pinned/visible — in this state, Cowork and Code are accessible without issue.
