Description

In the Plugins Repository window, I clicked the toolbar button for the sidebar and the sidebar closed, but now the button is disabled and the sidebar can't be reopened. Can't select different plugin categories anymore :/ I'm on Catalina 10.15.7.

Edit: Quitting and restarting SwiftBar shows the sidebar again, but the problem repeats itself if you click the toolbar button again.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Plugins Repository window on macOS Catalina 10.15.7: click the toolbar sidebar button, then try to reopen the sidebar. Start by locating the SwiftBar implementation of that window and toolbar action; the payload names no files or tests. Done means the sidebar can be closed and reopened and plugin categories remain selectable without restarting.
