Safari tabs groups are collapsed after "hiding / un hiding" the left bar through "Cmd Shift L" shortcut

As showed in the following picture I do have an "expanded" view of the current tab group

after hitting twice the "Cmd Shift L" shortcut, the active tabs group appears but in a "collapsed" way, forcing me to manually expand it which is quite painfull

Could this be enhanced ?

Thx in advance for your help !

Safari tab group name no longer appears in the front of minimized windows I know that tab group names are always displayed at the top left corner of the window. It used to be that the tab group name will also appear when you hover over the minimized window as well. That was very useful for determining which window I want to pull up. Idk what happened today but it suddenly stopped displaying the tab group names on minimized windows and only display the website name I minimzed on. I did not change any settings. How can I get the tab name display back on minimzed windows when I hover over them?

Tab group titles disappeared from Safari window menu It was so useful to have the list of open windows in Safari include the tab group name (if there was one) appear before the site name, as in tabgroup: site. I could bring up the tab group with ease and jump to another tab in the group without remembering which site was currently open. That feature has disappeared since I upgraded to latest Safari, and I can't see any setting to bring it back. I really want to have it back the way it was.

Safari Tabs Overlapping in Compact Mode I've encountered a persistent issue with Safari's compact mode, the tabs tend to overlap each other, making it difficult to switch between them or to view the page titles clearly. This occurs when I have multiple tabs open, as shown in the screenshots I have taken. The tabs contract to the point where they become visually merged. I'm using the latest macOS (Sonoma 14.3.1) Thank you for you assistance.
