Liquid Glass Update Causes Sidebar To Have Wasted Space

Much like Safari when it got the Liquid Glass update, Orion also has the wasted sidebar space bug in fullscreen mode upon getting the Liquid Glass update.

Alas, Orion doesn't fix the problem when it's in windowed mode like Safari does.

Compatibility mode, and rebooting Orion and my MacBook did/do not help.

I attached images of both Safari and Orion with their sidebars to visualize what I see and mean.

On another note, I like how Orion looks with Liquid Glass.

I expected the sidebar to productively use the entire vertical space it occupies instead of having a blank area above it.

After finding out that the Orion sidebar can be toggled on to auto-show/hide as the 0.99.137 update disabled it, the sidebar uses all of the space productively. That's the workaround, so consider this bug semi-solved.

Can confirm, it's been fixed with Version 0.99.138-beta (WebKit 623.1.8.0.0), Build date November 18, 2025, MacBook Air (macOS Tahoe 26.1 build 25B78). Thanks everyone!
