Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/737

I looked through some of the recent changelog entries and could not find where this was changed, but in v22, my search field/help field is no longer across the top, but very short and to the top left. Is there a config option that will restore this?

The short search field for me is not what I would like since I search for classical music. It works, but many of the words will become not visible.

I do not have a .config file in my home folder, so I guess I am using whatever the defaults are.

I don't think there's an option to disable this feature currently. If you make the terminal smaller, you will see that the search bar gets wider again. This is due to a change made in winter last year I worked on to make mire space available for content, because a lot of people don't have long search queries. I opened a pull request to add an option called enforce_wide_search_bar to make the search bar wider again. This should fix your problem. PR: #738
