Well, technically if that is the position of he search bar, then that is
fine - it's just the drag handle is in the wrong place ;-)

No it isn't worth spending time on.

Funny - trying to wean myself off TB I quickly got used to the oddly
placed search bar, but keep missing the drag handle, in part because it
is visually tiny and easy to miss. I've found that to be a way bigger
irritant than the search bar!!!!

Strange the things we get used too.

I didn't expect it would be an easy change but thought I'd ask anyway.

But yes, it should be a future consideration

Many thanks.
