How should the side menu hiding work in 6.1?

I have built v6.1.0-beta1 and the side menu does not hide when I click the Grafana icon at the top. I can’t find any reference to this in the release notes or Issues. Does anyone know whether this an intended change or something to do with my environment?

We have removed this feature. To hide sidemenu, click on the TV icon/button on the dashboard.

Ah, OK. I must have missed it in the release notes, thanks.
I can’t see how to do it in Chrome on Android. I don’t see the TV icon.

Further to this the missing TV icon on mobile devices appears to be down to the window size. Even on a PC if I reduce the window size enough then the Share and TV icons disappear so there is no way to hide the side menu. On a tablet in landscape mode I see the icon, but not in portrait mode, whereas on my phone it is not visible in either mode. I will have a look and see if there is already an issue reported for this.

Another question, on the tablet in portrait mode if I click the TV icon twice it goes into fullscreen mode. On a PC, Esc is used to get out of that mode, but I can’t find a way of getting out on the tablet.

[Edit] I have submitted an issue for the missing icons.

**What happened**: Viewing the dashboard (graph panel) in Firefox if the window… size is reduced below about 780 px both the TV and Share icons suddenly disappear. They reappear when the window is enlarged again. The symptom is also seen on mobile devices running Chrome on Android. On a Nexus 7 they are visible in landscape mode but not portrait, and on my phone they are never visible. This means that it is not possible to hide the side menu on smaller mobile devices. **What you expected to happen**: The icons should not disappear, the window should have a scroll bar if there is insufficient room. **How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)**: View the dashboard and reduce the window size. **Anything else we need to know?**: **Environment**: - Grafana version: 6.1.0 (from packages.grafana.com repository) - Data source type & version: Influx but N/R I think. - OS Grafana is installed on: Ubuntu 18.10 - User OS & Browser: Ubuntu 18.10, Firefix and Android with Chrome - Grafana plugins: - Others:
