This so weird! I had that exact same code (except for the column part), and my searchbox kept shrinking. Is the SDK buggy at times or something? I restarted my pc and now it works. That's rather peculiar. Thanks a lot btw, greatly appreciate the time you took to reply to my posts

I tried putting the column and the header dissappeared and the searchbox went halfway off the screen at the top. I replaced Nextelement with a red rectangle similar to the header. Very unexpected results
