Ability to control, with a property, the navigation drawer hover to expand behaviour

As a customer, we would like to be able to enable/disable the navigation menu expansion when hovering over it.
We have received many complaints from users about this behavior. Users say they would like to access it only by clicking the upper left button to open/close it, but not have it appear constantly when hovering over the left side of the screen.


Also we would like something similar with
common actions menu, a system property or configuration option to enable us to chose the default behavior of it (opened or collapsed)
