Safari Expanding Every Tab in the Tab Group

Hi folks,


I just updated Safari and now it is exhibiting an unwanted behavior. I depend on tab groups, and now when I click around in and out of my different groups, every tab for the group expands in the sidebar.


My question: how do I prevent a tab group from displaying every member item in the sidebar every time I click on the group?


I'm running macOS Sonoma 14.7.1.


Thanks in advance for your help.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.7

That's what I said. The behavior began after I installed the most recent Safari update, so I believe the rep was making the assumption that this was an intentional design change to the browser. They argued for wiping the machine as the only way for me to use an earlier version of the browser.

Hopefully, it is a bug and they will provide an update to fix. The rep was not fielding my question as if it was though. Not at all.
