Acrobat Reader, remove (not collapse) right hand sidebar completely

Hi, currently the right hand sidebar can only be hidden/ collapsed. It becomes a collapsed bar (see screenshot below)

It is bad UX design to have the collapsed bar right next to the scroller bar, because when people use the scroller bar, they usually just drag the mouse cursor to the extreme right, and click. This will accidentally expand the collapsed sidebar, which is not the intent of people who wants to click on the scroller bar.

Do consider removing the collapsed bar totally from the screen. Thanks.

    Hello Rickt,

    The functionality and the appearance of the right sidebar is a designed behavior of Acrobat and Adobe Reader. We'll highly appreciate your valuable feedback and you may file a feature request or request modifications in existing features to the development team using the Adobe Wish form Feature Request/Bug Report Form

    You may refer and try the suggestion from the following Adobe article to hide the right-hand pane by default Permanently close the Tools pane in Acrobat Reader DC

    Feel free to update this discussion for any further assistance.

    Thanks,

    Anand Sri.
