AI agent ALL SESSIONS auto-sizing improvement request #284893
Description
Type: Bug
Whenever I resize the Copilot chat panel beyond a certain width, the “All Sessions” pane automatically reappears and takes up a significant portion of the newly available space. This behavior is intrusive and reduces the usable chat and reading area.
I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to dismiss or prevent this panel from reappearing. Please replace this behavior with a user-controlled toggle or setting that allows “All Sessions” to be shown only when explicitly requested. Otherwise, it should remain hidden once dismissed.
This would significantly improve usability and reduce unnecessary distractions during active chat sessions.
