Research direction

Reproduce the overlap in the Workspaces list using a new account in staging, following the six steps in the issue; Safari on macOS is the reported platform. Read the workspace list and row rendering entry points, then inspect the layout when a workspace is created. Done when the new workspace row and the rows below it display fully after returning to the Workspaces tab.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
