I’m happy that the auto-hide Properties panel is finally making its way to Rhino 8 WIP now, however, I find that it would benefit from having a larger active area (or safe area) which extends past the visible portion of the panel. The extra “invisible” space could be something like 20 or 50 pixels wide and its purpose is to prevent auto-hiding the Properties panel while trying to reach some of the icons located at the very left of the panel.
The same goes for the Main left panel where the latter auto-hides too aggressively and often times will not let me click on a certain icon due to the lack of a wider active area.
