Same on Windows x64. The "Open on a new window button" is missed.
I noticed this when the extension was updated from 1.2.2 to 1.2.4.
(VS Code also updated at the same time, to version 1.104.1)

For macOS using v1.2.3, it works; the button is still available.

Same issue. Would appreciate a fix.

Hi all, I removed this because VS Code now has a native "Maximize Secondary Side Bar Size" button. So I felt we could remove our button to avoid having duplicate buttons for the same action.

However, I've realized that this button is only available if you run Continue on the right-hand sidebar. Is that an issue for folks in the thread?

I also am realizing it probably was unhelpful to remove the Continue: Open in new window command so I added that back here: #7955
