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 ?

    Please do NOT put "Search Notebooks" on same page as the Note! It is covering up all my long headings.

    What were you thinking putting in on the Note page??? I use the complete page and the "Search Notes" does not belong on the page!

    How do I move this now?? !! CRAZY MOVE PUT IT BACK WHERE IT WAS

    I disklike this forced change.
    Instead of forcing a change please make a option to change the location. You could even make make a right click option on the search field to say where you want it docked at.

    Same issue here, i want it placed above the list of pages again, where seeing one page less doesn't matter at all.

    Issue for me is that the tex box is also a third smaller expect if you manually make it bigger, so doesn't make sense at all.....
