      The panel toggle is very small to the point where is very easy to miss click it, and it happens to me very often, it's to the point where at least 3-4 times a day i click right on the edge of the window and drag it instead of opening or closing the panel, compared to my Windows machine it feels like the toggle is less than half the size.

      Also its like this regardless of what i set my screen resolution on system preferences and when i plug my laptop to my 1080p monitor, which is the same monitor i use with my PC BTW.

      If it matters i have the M1 pro 14" MBP and my settings are sync between both computers.

      Is there a setting to resize the toggle itself? even if it's just buried deep in the config files cause at least in the settings menu i didn't find anything that could change the size.

        First of all, I agree with you that the toggle is a bit too narrow. I hope it's widened a bit.

        But, I rarely fail to click on the toggle. Even when the mouse pointer changes into the drag mode (the ↔ shape), oftentimes you can still click on it to open or close the panel. So, you just click on it without dragging on it.

        Also, I wonder if you might consider the full screen mode. In the full screen mode, you just bring your mouse pointer all the way to the left edge and click on it to open or close the panel because there is no draggable edge.

          For me (also MacOS) the panel toggl is still hard to miss even if you consider that you can still open it in arrow mode.
          No issue imo on single monitor environments as the cursor can't go more to the left. But if you have a multi screen environment and Vivaldi is not on the screen on the left it's hard to hit.

            @ckdot Yes, when i plug the laptop to my monitor i have it on right side, so when i move the vivaldi window to it, i go pass it a lot and miss since the cursor moves to the laptop screen because is on the left side.

            My setup is making this issue worst that what it is for most people (well if it can be classified as an issue to begin with) and i guess this could fall into the category of "first world problems" since it's not like functionality of the browser is breaking because of it, still, i wish it would get changed to be more wider like it is in Windows (and probably Linux to but i don't have a Linux desktop setup to check)

              Ah, I see! I wasn't aware of that possibility because I put the Vivaldi window on my left monitor. (Yes, I do use two monitors side by side.)

              In any case, we all agree that the panel toggle is a bit too narrow. Has anybody submitted a "bug report" (which can be used to send a request)?
