This also has caused a lot of confusion, mainly because, when this is enabled, if the user enters any text into the searchbox, then clears it, then goes about their businethe next time they click into the searchbox, the vertical menu does *not* appear *whenhorizintal mode, it always appears as soon as you click into the searchbox). I guess the fact that the vertical menu doesn't appear is actually a bug, but in my opinion, the vertical menu is of no value, and I don't know anyone who uses it.

So, please, either fix the bug so that the Vertical menu pops down when the user click into the searchbox just like the horizontal bar, or, as I said, you could just eliminate this as an option and just have the Horizintal bar.

since the Horizintal bar appears as soon as you click into the searchbox, if you also eliminated the option to display the Vertical menu, you could also lose another icon inside the searchbox (the icon to switch to 'Show menu or bar with quick filter options...), as well as the big black arrow iconthat is on the far right of the horizontal bar when the filter options are being displayed.

I think this (eliminating the vertical menu option) would also eliminate some of the confusion.

But it is your choice... fix the bug, or eliminate the option...

Thanks again Iago, you rock!
