 * I’m with a clean WordPress install in a local environment with no plugins installed
   and GeneratePress theme active.
 * When I edit a page or a post the metabox panel is shown in the bottom of the 
   editor as you can see in this screenshot:

 * If I clic on the up arrow on Layout panel on right sidebar then the Layout widget
   moves to the empty bottom metabox panel:

 * I have checked and if I disable the “Preferences > General > Advanced > Layout”
   setting then the bottom metabox panel disappears but then I can’t set the Layout
   widget.

 * I think it’s a bug that the bottom metabox panel open with no content.
 * If I enable GenerateBlocks plugin then the bottom metabox panel don’t appear 
   by default.
 * I have Installed Polylang that add a new metabox for translations and a new option
   in Advanced section and I have the same issue than with the Layout metabox.

 * Hi there,
 * If you drag the empty metabox to resize it like [this](https://app.screencast.com/pCVA3hocm1E9A),
   does it fix the issue?

 *  Hi [@yingscarlett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingscarlett/), if I 
   drag and resize it to the bottom, it keep the “slider” bar on the bottom.
 * Now I have checked with other theme and with plugins that add widgets to sidebar(
   Polylang) and the issue is still here, so maybe it’s not a GP problem.
 * But I have checked that this behavior that disappears If I activate the GaenerateBlocks
   plugin.

 * I don’t think it’s a big problem, I can replicate it on my end, as long as I 
   drag the slider bar to the bottom, it stays there and does not affect me editing
   the page.

 * Ok [@yingscarlett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingscarlett/) thank you.
 * I have been some time off from editing in WordPress and I though it was a bug.

 * It might be a bug 🙂 But I don’t know if it’s a GP bug or WP bug.
