Ctrl + F window - How to make it stand still?

So, the Ctrl + F window (The 'search word' function - not sure what it's actually called) keeps jumping left and right when I press the arrows to go to next or previous word that matches my search. In some cases there's a LOT to go through, so it would be nice to be able to spam click the arrows, but this isn't possible as the window keeps changing its position. Is there a way to disable this dynamic behavior of the window?

    Hi @Luke Leon,

    Please note that this is actually by design. The reason why this dynamic behavior happened was because behind the "Ctrl+f" frame cover the content you want to search, so it will move left and right. We don't have any policy to change this behavior. If you still want to change it, you can enter "Alt+Shift+I" in the Edge interface to submit feedback.
