Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Opera by setting ImproveTube's Live Chat option to "Collapsed" and opening a live YouTube video with active chat. Start by tracing the Live Chat setting and the "Show live chat" control; done means the chat can be reopened while the stream is playing.

Description
Concise Description
When the "Live Chat" setting in the extension is set to "Collapsed", the chat is correctly hidden when watching a live video. However, the "Show live chat" button becomes unclickable — preventing users from reopening the chat during the stream.

'Steps to reproduce' - Which of our features is required for the bug to happen?
- In ImproveTube settings, go to "Live Chat" and select "Collapsed" 2. Open a live YouTube video with active chat 3. Try clicking "Show live chat" — nothing happens
Since when?
This issue has been happening for over a month. Before that, the "Collapsed" option didn’t seem to work at all — it didn’t hide the chat as expected. So the current behavior (chat being collapsed but not expandable) started once the option began working partially.
Does the bug still happen when you log out of YouTube?
Yes
..No? Then please paste your yt.config_.EXPERIMENT_FLAGS. Twice (With the error & Without)
