Description

Describe the bug
the side menu is showing up when the mouse cursor is not inside the editor. it's happening when the mouse is correct vertically, but wrong horizontally. I think it's because the side handle the vertical part of the cursor.

To Reproduce
check the documentation, find a page with an editor inside. hover your mouse to the left of the editor, up to the sidebar for example.
