Unfortunately SolarWinds rolled out another poorly executed change on users. The previous menu system was annoying because if you mouse strayed the slightest bit the entire menu system would disappear and you'd have to go back to get it open (on many occasions I had to do that several times). That has been sort of fixed with the new sidebar menu, unfortunately the choice is now to lose considerable screen real estate by always having the sidebar expanded (SWSD already has WAY too much wasted screen space) or to click on a sidebar icon then click somewhere else on the page if you open the link as a separate tab (the more efficient way to work in SWSD... I am not sure how anyone operates with only one SWSD tab)
