The three-line 'hamburger' button at the top of the left pane only expands or collapses the pane (NavigationView's PaneToggleButton). That icon conventionally opens a menu; collapsing a side pane is better served by a chevron/left-right toggle placed at the pane's edge or bottom, or by hiding the toggle and keeping the pane open on wide windows. Decide the icon and placement (WinUI 3 NavigationView supports IsPaneToggleButtonVisible and a custom toggle). Reported by the owner on 2026-10-11. Design change; not scheduled.
