Enlightened from here, the problem can be temporarily neutralized by Setting\General, Cancel the using system font size and try your preferred size, and set dpi=96, and restart the application when problem occurs, and drag edges of sidebars and window.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 11 with darktable 5.2.1: resize both sidebars and the window repeatedly, then maximize it. Compare the layout with the reported workaround of disabling the system font size and setting dpi=96. Done means the right side, including the Others tab, remains visible after these resize operations.
