Fix Material-UI Right Side Persistent Drawer Animation

Question

I have a fairly complex application with multiple drawers. I'm having an issue with the right side drawer animations. The drawers themselves animate fine, but the parent divs do not. I tried applying the same animation for the drawer to the parent div and this did not solve my problem. I've replicated the issue in CodeSandbox. See below.

Our specific use case is fairly complicated, but I think we've managed to find a fix. Essentially, we had to apply a transition to the <main> element and set its margin based on the state of the right toolbar. See below.

main: {
    position: 'relative',
    flex: 1,
    height: '100%',
    overflow: 'hidden',
    transition: theme.transitions.create('margin', {
      easing: theme.transitions.easing.easeOut,
      duration: theme.transitions.duration.enteringScreen,
    }),
    marginRight: -500,
  },
  mainRightOpen: {
    transition: theme.transitions.create('margin', {
      easing: theme.transitions.easing.easeOut,
      duration: theme.transitions.duration.enteringScreen,
    }),
    marginRight: 0,
  }

and implemented like so...

<main
  className={`${classes.main}
    ${this.props.rightToolBarOpen ? classes.mainRightOpen : null}
   `}
  ref={(mainContent) => { this.mainContent = mainContent; }}
