 Hey @scottnelle! Thanks for writing this up.

 >When selecting a new block and choosing to browse all in 5.5 beta 2, a
 left-aligned sidebar opens and, if a right-aligned editor sidebar is open,
 it closes.

 This is completely dependent on the screen size. If the screen width is
 too small to show them both, it will hide the Settings when opening the
 Inserter. If your screen is wide enough, it will keep the Settings opened
 even when opening the Block Inserter panel. There was definitely some
 conversations about this here:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/20951#issuecomment-613113458
 and an issue with a proposed solution was opened here:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/23968.

 >The only way I've found is to activate a right hand sidebar.

 The Block Inserter `+` in the topbar works as a toggle. So clicking it
 again will close the panel. It's not all that intuitive, and an issue
 addressing that was created:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/22871.
