Research direction

Start by reproducing the settings view at a window width of around 500px on Windows Terminal 1.19.10573.0, using the issue's expected and actual screenshots for comparison. The issue names no files or tests, so trace the settings and sidebar UI entry points; done when the narrow window matches the expected sidebar behavior without the reported simultaneous display.
