Not sure if this has been reported before.

With the left hand sidebar visible, edit a function, open the extended editor. It overlays the sidebar.

Now when the mouse is positioned over the right hand edge of the sidebar, the cursor changes to the left/right arrow & clicking/dragging no longer selects text in the editor.  
Instead it resizes the underlying sidebar.
