The drawer is too hazardous? Please explain...

[marlwin]

I mean its behavior, the system make it goes left or right depending the space left (the preference to stick it to a specified side never really works)

What version are you running? I just spent a few minutes jamming windows against the edges of my screens and opening tabs, and was never able to get it to misbehave. If there wasn't room for the drawer, the window got shoved over enough to make room. I'm running 5.10.1, rev 118169. If you've got a reproducible case, I'm sure the support ninjas would be interested, use Help->Send Feedback to send them the details.

In any case, it sounds like you meant "haphazard" not "hazardous"...

I think he means that whenever OW is quit then re-opened, the drawer automatically defaults to open on the right-hand side again, regardless of which side you have specified in the preferences. I believe I've heard that this is a global OSX option and is not definable at the app level between launches.

It must be not as simple as that; I've got my drawer set to open on the left side, and when I quit OW and reopen it, I get a couple of dozen windows, all with drawers on the left...

If you keep the drawer open between launches then yes, it will remain on the left side (or whichever side it was on when OW closed). However, if it has closed automatically (because all but one tab remains), it will default to the right side when OW is reopened again.
