Any updates on this?

The right sidebar only gets in the way and it is so annoying. Maybe a setting to disable the right sidebar entirely?

Same here, last friday it still opened in my IDE of choice. Now it only opens in the sidebar. The 'Default open destination' setting in General settings doesn't seem to be respected anymore either.

Also, this might be a dupe of #17526

I created a repository for automated daily release snapshots so that we have an option to downgrade in the future
