For some reason when I open OpenSCAD now it comes up with the Editor
window above the Display window.  It used to have the editor window on
the left and the display on the right.  I don't see any obvious way to
make this happen.  Copilot is full of useless suggestions. It's
Windows 11, version 2021.01 if that matters.  ??? 

Grab the Editor pane by its title bar and drag it where you want it to be.

If you want to lock them down, go to Edit/Preferences/Advanced, and
under "User Interface" uncheck "Enable docking of Editor and Console in
different places".

You might also consider moving to a development snapshot; render
performance with the new Manifold back end is far, far faster.
