I can't find the problem so closing. Reopen if you can explain the problem.
Created attachment 180470 [details] zoomed in searchbar The search-bar has 0 padding, so when the search-bar has a dark border it pops out a bit more than the lighter containing frame/widget. The search-bar is not bigger, only looks like it. The left side is dynamic, based on the text in front of the search-bar, so not something that can be aligned to the left edge of the editor area. Issues I do see is: - There could be a left-margin before the text - The search bar does not have the same border-line as the icon/line-number border (not as prominent if you have the scroll-bars always visible)

Created attachment 180491 [details] Comparison with dedicated search panel
As this image shows, the ctrl+F search box lacks padding, while the dedicated search panel has ample padding.
That is by design that way for all the views in that bottom area of the editor. Naturally one could revisit that idea.
