Bug Description

Every time I open gnome-tweaks, it briefly shows the main screen with "General", "Appearance", etc., down the left side, and then immediately opens the "General" screen shown in the attached screenshot. I can't figure out what's causing this or how to make it stop. This didn't always happen, seems to have started happening recently, though I don't know whether that's because there's a regression or something weird about my account.

Try making the window wider.

The thing is, no matter how wide I resize the window, when I exit from Tweaks and restart it, it goes back to the original size, with the left tab bar invisible. This is not ideal.

Furthermore, frequently the title bar controls (X _ maximize <) just up and disappear so I don't even see the left arrow I can click to get back to the left tab bar. Resizing the window sometimes makes them reappear. Note that I have the shell configured to put window controls on the left.
