Android Studio - XML Layout Designer Split View Change Orientation

Question

I'm not sure what happened, but the Split XML design view is now showing horizontally instead of vertically. (Design View is on bottom and Code view is on top.) I can't find anywhere on the UI to change the orientation of the design and code panes.

Answer 1

After playing around with the interface for longer than I'd like to admit...

Clicking on the Split button again flips the UI between horizontal and vertical split screen.

I'm not sure if this is a new feature in Android Chipmunk or if it's always been this way, but I could not find a duplicate question or answer on Stack Overflow or the web.

Answer 2

I faced a similar situation in version. Android Studio Chipmunk | 2021.2.1 Patch 2

I noticed that by pressing the Split button it became old value.
