In my OneNote the field box for "Search Notebooks" positioned itself over the title of the page and I can't move it.

I tried various Display settings and also reset the cache.

Anyone knows how to solve this ?

    It's not so much testing, as it is not properly asking their customers what they want.

    Why would anyone think that covering up any part of the content area is a good idea? The content area should be for content, and nothing else!

    My primary issue with this and other failed changes and updates, is Microsoft’s continuing failure to test before imposing their failure on us.

    Yet another awful Microsoft change pushed on long time users without the option to maintain the "old" view. I see this all the time in PowerApps, SharePoint Lists, and Power Automate. It sucks to be an MS user.

    This change is awful. I use One-Note for all of my work and home projects. The search is in the way of my long titles and it keeps dropping down on me. I provided feedback but really there should be a way to move it back.

    Not practical, wish we could move the search notebooks to above so that it doesn’t block the view. Tries to use the feedback button but didn’t work to send feedback. Merci
