I can easily reproduce what sculwell said (hide the drawer, relaunch, show the drawer but it's at the right instead of left)

There is another thread close to the subject :

As you can see there is a flaw in this. And there is another one if you make your window take all the screen width (without the drawer), then open the drawer, relaunch, close the drawer. What happen ? It doesn't come back in "full" width.
