In preview, after search context, the always show side bar option automatically set to be on, even though I set it to be off before the search. Is this intended behaviour?

Make a change in Preview:



From Preview>Preferences>General there is a reset




If no resolve try a Safeboot to clear system cache files

SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
