Description

I have no idea why, and I certainly can't find/see a simple way to stop the output panel from being on the bottom of the screen now.

I've had this complaint several times now, this along with automatically reformatting code which is incredibly jarring.

I get that some people want that stuff - but please leave it all off by default and work on your UX to expose it and offer people to turn it on and off.

CSB is my tool of choice for quick prototypes and figuring stuff out - it's an amazing tool - but it's getting silly now and I really don't want to have to find something else.

Can you please fix this ASAP.
