Can you set the Quick Launch Menu as to default as collapsed with Modern Pages?

Well, this particular "feature" has caused me nothing but grief since it went live.  My users (who are new to SharePoint online) are already trying to get to terms with our navigation and structure and the menus collapsing every time is causing them real issues.  I also have site owners that have changed the templated navigation (against policy) so that everything at the top level so it doesn't collapse.

Please, please, please Microsoft - offer the option to enable/disable this nightmare!  I agree that some will want this and that's why you changed it in the first place, but you've pleased one group of users and alienated another set.......
