Folders expanding too quick; buttons and menu bar reversed; compact folders not working

Now that I have TB 115.2.2 installed I have a couple of annoying changes:

1 When I move an e-mail from my Inbox to a folder it immediately expands when I hover over it. Some of my folders have 20-30 sub-folders so it's a pain to have to close the folder so that I can see the rest of the folders for the next move. Is there a delay setting anywhere?

2 My previous version used to have the function buttons immediately above the message and the menu bar was at the top. Why have they been reversed?

3 Compact folders no longer works.

The reason it didn't work first time was that I ended up in the wrong profile folder. Having found the correct one it's working fine now.

Thank you.

Update: I should have clarified point 1. When I grab an e-mail in the Inbox and move it to the folder list any folder I move across immediately opens. By the time I get to my intended destination I have several folders expanded. This means I have to go back and close all the folders the system has opened. A delay of 1-2 seconds would allow me to move across folders without them immediately opening.

Point 2. If I open a new message the menu bar is at the top and the buttons are below, as in the previous version. Why the inconsistency?

You can disable the folder expanding on drag and drop:

The Menu Bar can be moved to the top in the main window:

Thank you. That's resolved my problem #1.

Re: problem #2 - implementing that code is beyond my ability. Can this be done using the config editor?

There are instructions for moving the Menu Bar here:

You only need the top two lines to move the bar.

It cannot be done with Config. editor.
