This is the way the iOS app functions on iPhone. How is it that we expect that the iOS app should function like desktop & web on the iPad? I'm not sure I agree that this is a blocker. Thoughts @roryabraham @marcaaron @parasharrajat?

This is working as expected. On bigger screens or landscape iPad, menu should animate from left

You can easily evaluate it. If you are able see both LHN and report screen then menu should not be full screen and animation should be same as desktop.

If that's the case then yes, it is a bug, it's behaving that way even in landscape mode:

How does this behave on production? #6278 was the PR for this, but it was reverted in #6523 since it caused other regressions, so if the behavior we're seeing now is the same on production I think this can be closed in favor of #5754.

Great point! I just pulled down the production version of the app and it behaves the same way. So not a blocker. Closing!
