Editing left-side menu of modern site takes you to classic settings page

The site collection is classic mode; the site in question is modern; the left navigation behaves like the classic experience. Clicking the Edit link in the left navigation opens a new page which is in the classic mode: Settings > Navigation Settings. However, when I checked a SharePoint site associated with a Teams site, you are able to make changes on the site page when you click the Edit link -- the modern experience.

How do I fix the left navigation on the site in question so that it behaves in the modern mode?

Thanks.

    1. Is this a subsite under classic site collection?
    2. Are you using structural or metadata drive navigation
    3. Any classic site feature enabled on site like server publishing feature? - If yes and it is not used for any other purpose, try deactivating it.

      I am having the same issue. This was not an issue yesterday, however. I added a new Library today and now when I go to edit the side navigation I need to Edit in Classic mode.

        GavinKlose Did you add normal document library or library using any classic template like "Picture Library", etc.
