At the moment, once a toolbox opens, the toolbox still takes the full
width of the window, however it no longer goes full height. You can
resize the toolbox to be as tall as you like. This was done to make it
more obvious how to continue interacting with the sidebar to change
apps, etc., but perhaps something else would be better.

I'd suggest trying it out and letting us know how it feels to you.
