Notes:

the bug was present for Revise tone Growth SE task. I checked - the fix is working for that case too.
the screenshot in the task description is for the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Regent%27s_Park&action=edit

Fixed - checked in enwiki beta. The gif below shows

a screenwidth is reduced to <1120px, so the sidebar tools are hidden
with Suggestion mode enabled in beta, click Edit (VE)
the suggestions appear on the right side
increase the screen width - the sidebar tools do not appear
