- Search Edit obscures Slider.jpg (100.98 KiB) Viewed 1958 times
This is a very typical situation for me: propositions from the history of past searches are narrowed down to just 1 but even that merely 1 line is almost entirely blocking me from grabbing of slider - and thus [when I decide I do not want to utilize a former filtering expression] I either must aim very carefully for the slider it in order to grab it or click somewhere else in order to first make the list with historic searches close itself. This is very annoying and slowing down my workflow
I know I can make Search Edit bar switch places with that of Filter bar - but I do not want to. Plus some users use right-to-left reading order and also might have the same issues. And so I propose:
adding some empty space to accommodate such usage cases / elements arrangements
Alternatively:
there could be implemented a new feature for adding of empty-space-area and / or of separator, alike to that one in for example Mozilla Thunderbird where I can arrange quite freely buttons on its Menu Bar and Mail Toolbar by not placing them precisely but by moving them around along with added and removed Space and Flexible Space elements [as it is how they are called in Thunderbird]

This more advanced approach could then become a basis for a hypothetical addition of various buttons and check boxes that users would have a possibility of including in theirs main or extra bars
