Hey,

It looks like a side-effect of this commit:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27876/files#diff-634be0b36b7b099da8fa7b1ea70b3643467d0cf3bf5121df38430377c3480e53](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27876/files#diff-634be0b36b7b099da8fa7b1ea70b3643467d0cf3bf5121df38430377c3480e53)

It introduced a `clamp(350px, 33vw, 33vw)` on the panel to specify a min and max (which is a great change!), but it has the effect that since we don’t go out of bounds by default, it enforces the preferred value, `33vw`, regardless of the `width` set dynamically.

I think specifying the limits without using `clamp` could fix this behavior:

```plaintext
.chat-side-panel {
  min-width: 350px;
  max-width: 33vw;
  width: 33vw;
}

```
