Just to repeat, I do NOT SEE A PROBLEM. Even when the sidebar is set to zero width and the cursor is then moved off the window, moving the cursor back switches to window resizing cursor then to the pane handle cursor then to line number margin cursor. There is a reasonable period as pane handle cursor to drag it back again, there is no problem with either of my Linux Mint systems on either low resolution old laptop or newish 27" QHD.

Your better explanation (thanks) of what you see describes your problem more clearly, but again I do not see the problem you see.

The thing that needs to be explained is why is it bad for you, but not for me, and then what possible solution there is in LM themes, or maybe its something set in Cinnamon and XFCE is different or its something else. But whatever, we should know why the behaviour is different between systems before jumping into any solution is decided (geany.css or code or whatever?).

By the way, just test how VSCode behaves if you think I'm doing something idiotic.

I originally deliberately didn't murky the problem with Vscode, it is different, but will explain.

it has a fixed left narrow sidebar with icons for selecting which of several sidebar contents is shown (and unhides the sidebar if an icon is selected). It is not resizable or removable (at least as I can find) so confusion with window resize is not a problem.
the actual sidebar contents is resizable, but it can only be dragged to a minimum (dunno where its defined but its about 15 characters)
but if the handle is continually dragged passed the minimum and close to the left edge it will activate the "hide sidebar" action instead of the "resize" action. There will be no handle. When the "unhide sidebar" is actioned it will come back to the original size not the minimum value.

So its all different and probably not helpful here.

Please, next time at least try to understand the problem first before making such claims.

We neither of us understand why it works in some places and not others, claims that "only code is needed" is as bad as "just CSS" and we need to understand it first.
