Description
Related to: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/16934
Describe the bug
On a medium screen, such as a tablet, when clicking the "+ New contact" button, the sidebar remains visible and is not possible to collapse. This makes it impossible to fill in the contact details form, as the sidebar overlaps the form fields.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to Contacts
- Click on the hamburger menu to show the sidebar
- Observe that the sidebar overlaps the form
- Observe there is no visible way to collapse the sidebar
Expected behavior
The sidebar would automatically collapse when clicking on "+ New contact", revealing the full form contents.
Actual behavior
The sidebar remains open and the hamburger icon disappears, obstructing the form with no way to collapse the sidebar.

Inspect the responsive sidebar and form behavior; done means the sidebar collapses automatically and all contact form fields remain accessible without a visible hamburger control.
