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 ?

    Same issue here. Why change something that isn't an issue much-less make it so that users can't revert back to the non-moronic layout.

    The canned Microsoft response of "submit feedback" is just insulting. You submit feedback and if some random person there decides it's popular enough then the *might fix it. The top "upvoted" thing there is a year old and not implemented, proving that the 'feedback' system is just Microsofts way of telling its users to go yell into a hole if they don't like something.

    But since MS doesn't give a **** and feedback is the only option to imagine your input matters...

    I thought I had messed with a setting somewhere. So glad I am not crazy - but also feel vindicated since everyone is as upset by this as I am!

    Stopping screwing with stuff!

    I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm using left to right. The font on the search bar is much larger than the font I use in OneNote. Will try to change scale--perhaps my attempt to reduce eye strain has contributed.

    I agree with Rich, totally unnecessary change and quite annoying. please change it back.

    Microsoft has a history of fixing what is not broken.
