When Geany loads, or when I adjust the sidebar width to the left too far, it goes off screen. It should latch to the edge of screen and have a minimum width preventing it from being resized too small. 
Disagree, if a user wants to make it narrower so they can see the far right of lines they are editing they should not be prevented from doing so by the software. The "slide off the screen left" is the method the GTK toolkit provides for handling a width that is too narrow. Users who do not want it hidden can simply not make it so narrow. If there is anbetter method of handling it provided by GTK then "somebody" can make a PR.
The being too small on first startup should be improved in latest git version (or soon).
Instead of "sliding" off the screen, it would be better to have the width reduce to nothing and the left side stays put. eg. disable the sliding feature.

I personally would agree, and as I said "If there is a better method of handling it provided by GTK then "somebody" can make a PR."
