Pinned Navigation doesn't stay pinned

Hello @dpoole2000,

Thank you for contacting us on that matter.

Could you please provide us with the RDM version and the workspace you are currently using?
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/workspace-types

Also, if possible, could you please send me a video via DM that shows the behavior you are describing?

Thank you for your collaboration.

Best regards,

This might be the same root problem as the nav bar enter behavior issue I posted here:

Hi @dpoole2000,

Thank you for the video, it shows the behavior very clearly (RDM 2026.3.10.0).

When you launch an entry, RDM can automatically collapse the Navigation pane, and if the pane was pinned, this returns it to auto-hide. This is controlled by two settings:

1. Go to File - Settings - Entry types - General.
2. Check whether "Collapse Navigation pane on open embedded" is enabled. If it is, please turn it off.
3. Also check "Collapse Navigation pane on open with Ctrl+Shift". This one only applies if Ctrl+Shift is held while launching the entry.

Could you please let me know whether the pane stays pinned after launching an entry with these options disabled? If it still gets unpinned, please tell me whether you launch the entry by double-click or with Enter, and I will continue investigating.

@jtapp it is not the same behavior. I will check your forum and get back to you there with an answer.

Best regards,

Issue is resolved. Instructions below...

1. Go to File - Settings - Entry types - General.
2. Check whether "Collapse Navigation pane on open embedded" is enabled, if so turn it off.
