When the "Compact" Tab Layout is used, new Orion windows can be resized in a way that makes it impossible to search. The search bar seems to move into the overflow menu and become unfocusable (even CMD+Alt+F, CMD+L cannot focus the search bar).

Steps to replicate the issue (from a clean Orion install):

1. Set "Tab Layout" to "Compact"
2. Create a new window
3. Resize the window's width to the minimum amount possible

Notes:

1. This is does not happen in Safari when the same Tab Layout is set.
2. This bug does not happen with the "Standard" Tab Layout.
3. "Use Mini Toolbar" does not affect this behaviour.
4. If the setting for the tab layout is switched from "Compact" to "Standard" and back, the bug disappears for all windows that already existed, the minimum width seems to change too, but then it becomes quite large compared to for example Safari.

I would either expect Orion to not allow resizing operations that make the search bar disappear, or not move the search bar into the overflow menu. As window managers often resize windows to fit into the screen, Orion often appears without the search function for me.

I've recently started using Aerospace, a window management tool for macOS. Orion seems to have a bunch of issues, and always causes it to glitch.

I know Orion can't support every tool out there, but it would be great if there was a way to disable the custom window behavior. I think when I started using Orion years ago, there was an option to choose between normal Mac windows or the Orion managed ones (where each window way treated like an app) but I can't seem to find it in settings anymore.

Would love to just have on app for all my windows, and no quick preview feature
