I'm not very fond of this fix; maybe you can come up with a better solution

problematic fix got when there are several panels in a workflow, they stack on top of each other!

This issue may be related to other issues.
For me, the Controller also disappears when we open or switch any Sidebar.
This did not happen before.

The Controller also disappears when we enter focus mode ( hiding TopBar and Sidebar ) ( #500 ).

And when we open a new workflow there is a similar problem ( #498 ).
The first time we "toggle on" the controller, it does not show up, but the Top Bar button it's "on" ( blue ).

I did some more testing.

All the bugs mentioned above, seem to be caused by frontend version 1.8.2

Using frontend 1.8.1, everything works fine.

By the way @bananasss00, what's that purple outline in the group buttons, in your images?
You also have it in previous images ( #486 (comment) ).

There's a feature with a similar visual effect ( #448 ), but it's not implemented yet.

This effect occurs when these nodes are enabled

Ah, ... that extension has similar buttons, with thick outlines ( e.g. painter node ).
So maybe that's interfering with the Controller's button code.
In the Controller, normal behavior it's simply for the selected button to be brighter.
