Visual Studio 2022 is opening files from the call stack and search window in the bottom pane

Question

I'm debugging a C# ASP.NET app. When I double click on an item in the call stack it's opening the file in the bottom pane of Visual Studio 2022. I know how to change where all these persistent windows like (Call Stack, Breakpoints, etc.) open, but I can't figure out how to change where files get opened in the call stack. I'd like them to open above, in the main pane where my other code is located. I currently have to drag them from the bottom pane to the main pane.

I just noticed that the search window is doing the same...

I'm running:

Answer 1

Based on my research, I think the default layout of clicking the code line in the Call Stack windows will not show in the bottom pane of Visual Studio 2022.

I think this situation comes from some changes based on the default settings or some extensions you installed.

First of all, please make sure there isn't any extension that can affect the layout of windows.

Second, you can follow the below steps to reset the settings of the layout or reset the settings of the total language environment collection settings:
