Dual Display always below, not move tab to right

In one of the recent updates the dual display defaults to the "below" setting rather than side by side.

Even using this command:
go tabduplicate=dual openinright

Does the same thing. I've checked the various settings and cannot find a way to fix this. Any suggestions please?

Thank you

The OPENINRIGHT argument really means "open in right or bottom". It'll use whichever orientation the window is currently set to.

"Left" and "Right" are the canonical sides which most command arguments and discussions use, but their meanings change to "Top" and "Bottom" when in the other orientation.

You can switch the orientation using the buttons on the default toolbars (next to the "Lister" menu), or by clicking the = or || icon near the top right of either dual file display panel. The window will then use that orientation until something changes it.

Depending on other settings, you may need to use Settings > Set as Default Lister to save the change. If you're using layouts, those will also need changing.

(I don't think any of this changed in recent updates.)

Yay! It was the || button that I must have clicked at some point...

Appreciate it.
