Maintain Sidebar state

[TDMatthews]

Description

Settings allow for sections in the sidebar to be toggled on and off. It is desirable to maintain tsidebar stat (expanded / collapsed) between sessions. Currently closing the application when maximized does not maintain current state and all panels open minimized.

Steps To Reproduce

• Set a default folder and set 'show drives section' to true.
• Expand drives
• maximize window and close app
• relauch app and drive section is collapsed

Expected behavior

expanded / collapsed state should be maintained regardless of window state

I think Files is remembering the sidebar state, but it's not expanding it correctly when you open a new session. The proof is you have to click twice to make the item expand (gif).

Steps to reproduce:

• Expand Favorites (or anything expandable) in the sidebar
• Close and reopen Files
• The current state of Favorites is expanded, but not visually expanded
• Have to click twice to visually expand the item (the first click is to collapse, and the second click eventually expands the item)

@yaichenbaum Nope, this issue is about sections not being extended after reopening the app.

Definitely some race happening. Note the arrow directions. Up should be expanded, down should be closed. Only when I expand or collapse all items it works as expected.
