Description:

When you define a Panel::make(...)->collapsable() as the first fields() element, it is not collapsable and the arrow is not even seen.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue on a fresh Nova installation:

public function fields(NovaRequest $request)
{
        return [
            Panel::make('First Panel', [
                // Fields
            ])
            ->collapsable(),
            // ...
            // Other fields
        ];
}

After much consideration, we are not going to change the behavior here. You can create an empty panel to cover the use case. In future versions, we will add a deprecation warning if you attempt to use it as the first panel and throw an exception in Nova 6.
