Describe the project you are working on

The Godot editor

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

The new thumbnail generation system is great, so it would be nice to polish the UX of the bottom dock version of the filesystem dock.

The bottom dock by it's nature has more horizontal and less vertical space available. The current state of the LineEdits for the current directory and file search doesn't make sense, they don't need to take up 80% of the horizontal space of the screen each.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Move this up.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

No.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

Part of the editor.
