double click tab title while in split view (how to revert to how it used to work)
I just upgraded to PhpStorm 2021.1
Build #PS-211.6693.123
Functionality that has change is when I double click on the tab title while its split left|right previously this would hide any open sections and leave me with just the editors. I like this way and would like to return to how it functioned.
After the update in addition to hiding the open side panels (project, git, find etc..) it also resizes the editor panel.
So if I had it split 50|50 after double click whichever tab was clicked now takes up 85|15 the majority of the screen.
Possible to revert via a setting anywhere?

Apparently this is a go-to change from a Core team: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-264921#focus=Comments-27-4793134.0-0
Unfortunately I can't see any options to revert the change. It would be great if you could submit this to our tracker at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue if you're not happy with the change.
Thanks Dmitry,

I'm sure some will like the new feature, its not an improvement for me though.
Thanks! I'll keep an eye on the report.
I would like to second this...
This is fixed in the upcoming 2021.2 IDE version, please find more info at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-266279
That post is about maximizing the editor which I do not want to do, I just want the way it worked before, if the editors are 50|50 double click removes hides the surrounding panels. The linked issue does not indicate if the double click returns the old behavior or keeps the 85|15 behavior. Thanks.

I rolled back to the previous version after opening this forum thread. Just upgraded yesterday and its still not fixed.
The action I'm expecting when double clicking the tab is:
* Double-click on editor tabs hides tool windows / restores tool windows layout.
That part is desired and still happens, its the change the ratio that I'd like to get rid of (back to how it previously functioned).
Is there a setting somewhere?
Im seeing a lot of closed trackers but no step instructions on how to have it NOT maximize.

I've 2021.2 Beta installed (did not bother to install RC yet). I have 1 tab opened, then split it (2 time: one vertical and one to the side) .. and have a few toolwindows opened.
If I now double click on any editor tab it does what it did before: just hides opened toolwindows. All editor tabs get size increased (seems to be proportinoal to me)
But yes, if I double click on a tab inside the toolwindow (e.g. in TODO or Problems panels) it maximizes that toolwindow. And that makes sense to me.
That's the layout that I have tried:
After double click on any editor tab:
After double click on a tab inside the toolwindow:
Hi Andriy, I can see what you're saying with the second click, but that just makes it more confusing.
1 click = hide the side bars
2nd click change the aspect ratio
3rd click return to first state
4th click skip hide the side bars and jump straight to the second state, (what happened to the first state?)
As I have originally mentioned: I've tested all that in PhpStorm 2021.2 Beta (1 version prior to current RC; could not bother to upgrade to RC build yet). While you have current stable 2021.1.4
Therefore try most recent 2021.2 RC (available since 2 days ago): https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2021/07/phpstorm-2021-2-rc/
Thank you very much Andriy, That does solve the problem.
After upgrading to PhpStorm 2021.2 RC the issue is resolved for me. Double clicking on the header tabs hides/shows the surrounding panels with no adjustment to the editor aspect ratio.
Much appreciated.
