Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. I'm always frustrated when using the Results pane in Azure Data Studio because there is a vertical toolbar with export options (CSV, Excel, JSON, Copy) placed right next to the vertical scrollbar. This makes scrolling with the mouse (especially precision wheels or touchpads) very difficult, as the toolbar overlaps with the natural scroll area.

This UI decision feels unintuitive and obstructs basic usability when navigating query results.

Describe the solution or feature you'd like
Please provide an option to:

Hide the export toolbar entirely from the Results pane (toggle via settings)

Reposition the toolbar to the top, bottom, or inside a collapsible menu

Add spacing between the toolbar and scrollbar if it must remain in that area

The current design compromises usability for quick export convenience.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using right-click > “Save As” as a workaround (which works fine, making the toolbar redundant)

Trying to resize or undock the pane to shift toolbar layout (not always effective)

Keyboard shortcuts, but none are available for "Save as CSV" etc.

Additional context
See the attached screenshot — note how the toolbar overlaps the scrollbar, making it hard to navigate large result sets:

This toolbar is not only intrusive, it actively hampers the core use case of scrolling through results efficiently.
