I *think* this might be intentional, but I agree it doesn't seem ideal.
Comment 2 Niccolò Venerandi 2024-08-20 08:02:12 UTC 
I would say this is intentional and necessary since the new edit mode redesign. Now, entering edit mode will de-zoom the desktop so that you can drag-and-drop widgets without the widget explorer covering any of the screen. This is a direct improvement compared to when part of the screen was covered by it, and the sidebar became translucent.
