Hello!
I've been trying out the new Code search a bit and have some feedback regarding the user interface. The search itself seems very nice though
First issue: Since username, repository, path and filename is displayed on a single line almost all filenames are cut or not visible att all
Second issue: When searching in a specific repository, and the username/repository is to long to be displayed between the two button at the top - the "filter" button is cut, and the box with content preview gets larger than the visible content, which end up with the lines being cut
Third issue: If opening the drop-down menu or the filter options and then doing a back gesture to close it - the drop-down/window stays open and the content behind goes to previous page . I expect the back gesture to close the drop-down/window and I'm guessing this is what most users expect
(No screenshot)

Fourth issue: The filter options window higher up than the visible content, it's cut at the top
Fifth issue: After entering search keywords on the main page the "enter" in Google GBoard is replaced with a "next field" button which doesn't do anything. To actually search I need to click the line under the search box
Sixth issue: There seems to be no way to use the old search function after getting Code search enabled. If I go to "Code" search result I can uncheck "Use new code search" which will give me other results (I assume the same as the old search) but the user interface is still the new interface. Also the "Code" option disappears from the drop-down - which makes it look like I'm seeing repository results when it's actually code
All the above is observed using Chrome Beta 110.0.5481.64 on Android
Personally I think that the old tabbed layout is easier to use, no need to click the drop-down
Also please let me be able to switch between the new and old user interface
Thank you!
Edit: The "feedback discussion" link in the welcome email seems to be incorrect, and therefore states "There are no matching discussions.". Which of course made me think there's no previous feedback, because of that I did not check if any of the bugs I report were reported before
